If you never had a Steamed Chicken Breast before, you really got to try it out. Not only is it a quick meal, but it can be seasoned many different ways. On top of that, Steamed Vegetables can be steamed with the Chicken or after the Chicken is removed and rested for a complete meal. The wonderful and very appealing thing about steamed Chicken is the texture and juiciness of it. It's unique all in itself.
