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 Medium Shallow Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken drumsticks
  • ¼ large (30g) carrot, cut into about ½ “ slices
  • 2 cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cleaned
  • 1-2 small Yukon potatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup (60ml) dry red wine
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ bay leaf

Preparation

  1. Note: For best color and flavor, we recommend marinating the chicken in red wine overnight!
  2. Add all the ingredients in the Extra Large Anyday dish. 
  3. Cover with the lid (knob lifted). Cook in the microwave for 8-9 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are soft. Discard bay leaf. 
  4. Enjoy with crusty bread, if desired.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Use any kind of mushroom, such as button, oyster, or hen of the woods.
  • Use chicken wings or thighs if drumsticks are not available.
  • You may substitute carrots for parsnips.

Recipe notes

  • Marinate the chicken overnight in the wine for a deeper flavor and intense color.
  • Serve with crusty bread or creamy polenta.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
