So anyways, Here is one recipe that you can use in the stack cooker. I made chicken Alfredo. It got two thumbs up!
First you take frozen chicken breast and place it in the 3 qt. container with a little bit of water. I filled it up about halfway with water. You can use chicken that is already thawed out and it won't take as long to cook but I never prepare that far ahead. Lol!
Then you take the 1 3/4 qt. container and colander and fill it will bow-tie pasta and water and stack it on top of the chicken.
Next you take one can of peas (do not drain) and place it in the 3/4 qt. container. Add just enough water to cover the peas. Stack this on top of the pasta and cover it with parchment paper.
Put all of this in the microwave. I typically cook at 5 minute increments just because I am horrible about over cooking or burning stuff. The peas were done at the first 5 minute check so I just pulled them off and placed the parchment paper over the pasta. Once the pasta was done, I pulled it off and placed the parchment paper over the chicken and cooked it until it was fully done.
I then pulled the colander up, which drained the pasta then dumped the water and put the pasta back in the 1 3/4 qt. container. I used the colander to drain the peas then added them to the pasta. Next I poured the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and peas. I added a little bit of extra garlic just because I love garlic but you can leave that out if you want.
Next I cut up the chicken to bite size pieces and added it to the pasta mix.
Last I put the whole dish back in the microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to get all of the flavors to mix a little better.
The nice thing about the stack cooker is that all of the pieces can go straight into the dishwasher so it's easy cooking and easy clean-up. Also if you have extras, like I always do, it comes with an air tight, liquid tight seal you can pop it on and toss it in the fridge for lunch or dinner the next night.
