To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Large Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (60g) onion, diced small
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup (30g) red bell pepper, diced small
  • 1 cup (190g) long-grain white rice
  • ½ cup (120g) marinara sauce
  • 1½ cups (360ml) water
  • ⅓ cup (40g) peas, frozen or fresh
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Add all ingredients except the chicken into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper and arrange over the rice. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is fully hydrated.
  3. Let the dish cool for 2 minutes with the lid still on. Serve and enjoy!

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Not feeling marinara tonight? Substitute salsa, curry, or any other tomato-based sauce of your liking.
  • You can also try swapping peas for any veggie (we like lima or green beans) and chicken thighs instead of drumsticks.
  • Use chicken breast cut into quarters of a boneless alternative.

Recipe notes

  • Poke the chicken thighs with a fork over the surface to reduce loud popping sounds as it cooks.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
