Chicken in minutes

By far the quickest way to make real yummy chicken in a microwave with the most basic ingredients. Perfect for bachelor cooking.

How quick is it?

2 minutes to gather and chop the ingredients. 1 minute for the stock. 2 minutes for cooking chicken in the stock. 2 minutes for sauté. 3 minutes for cooking it all together. 

Total time - 10 minutes ... maybe more if you have to hunt for the ingredients in the fridge, in addition I am assuming the chicken is either fresh or defrosted. If you calculate the time to defrost in a microwave, you may add up another 5 to 10 minutes.

What do you need?

• Approx. 250gm boneless chicken breast
• 1 large capsicum
• 1 large onion
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 tbsp garlic
• 1 cube of Maggi chicken stock
• Oil as required 
• Salt and Pepper to taste minutes 

Start to Finish

Take 3/4 mug of water, microwave it for a minute and drop in the Maggi chicken stock cube for instant chicken stock. If you are using frozen chicken, defrost the chicken, this may take 5 to 10 minutes in your microwave. Cut the chicken and lay it on a shallow microwave dish, pour the stock over it. Cover the dish and microwave for 2 minutes on 100% power. In the meanwhile you can chop the garlic, ginger, capsicum and onion (Time saving tip: Use ginger / garlic paste) 

Remove the chicken and stock from the microwave, take a deep microwave bowl and pour in some oil and toss in the chopped garlic, ginger, onion and capsicum and microwave for 2 minutes on 100% power. Pour in the chicken stock and the chicken into the bowl along with the sauté veggies. Add Salt and Pepper to taste, mix well and microwave it closed for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how you want your chicken cooked. 

Remove from microwave, let it stand for a minute, mix well and serve with garnishing.
