Cuisinart TCS-60 manual Tuscan Chicken, This whole meal is ready in less than an hour

Place on one end of the chicken and roll the chicken jelly roll style, so that the spinach/roasted pepper roll is rolled up in the chicken. Place seam side down and repeat. (The chicken may be prepared to this point up to 8 hours ahead; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.) Just before steaming, tie a chive around the center of each bundle, with the knot on the underside.

Spray the bottom of the larger steamer tray with cooking spray or olive oil.

Arrange the chicken roulades in the large steamer tray. Fill the water reservoir and steam for 18 - 22 minutes. Turn off the steamer, unplug and let sit for 1 minute. Remove the fan arm and lid, transfer the chicken roulades to a serving plate, and serve. May be served hot or cold.

To make a whole meal:

Spray the bottom of both steamer trays with cooking spray or olive oil. Arrange the quartered potatoes in a single layer in the large tray. Arrange four chicken roulades in the second steamer tray (they should not touch each other or the sides). Steam for 18 minutes. While the potatoes and chicken steam, trim carrots to fit the large feed tube of a Cuisinart® food processor horizontally. Insert the

3 mm julienne disc and julienne the carrots. After 18 minutes, turn off steamer and let sit one minute; remove turbo convection fan and lid. Chicken should be completely cooked (170º F when tested with an instant read thermometer), and potatoes nearly done. Remove chicken to a warm platter and cover loosely with foil. If potatoes are hard, steam for 3 – 5 minutes longer before continuing. Arrange carrots and snow peas in second steamer tray. Steam for 3 – 4 minutes for crisp-tender vegetables. Turn off steamer and let sit

1 minute; remove turbo convection fan and lid. Arrange the vegeta- bles and potatoes on the platter with the chicken and serve.
