The Deliciously Healthy Benefits of Steam Cooking - Cooking For the Whole Family With Health in Mind

Steaming is a simple cooking method that uses direct contact with steam to cook foods. There are many different types of steamers available from simple to complex, but they all work under the same basic principal. One simple method of steam cooking is heating a small amount of liquid (water, broth, wine etc.) in a pot to a simmer. Then placing a steaming basket containing the food to be cooked in the pot directly above the liquid and covering. The steam from the hot liquid is trapped in the pot circulating around the food and cooking it quickly.

The health benefits of steam cooking are that you don't use oil, butter or fats to cook your food and because the food is not emerged in water or fried in a pan it doesn't lose any of its nutrients. So, you retain the full, hearty flavors of your food without adding extra calories from fats and oils. Just adding 2 to 3 steam cooked meals a week to your diet can have astounding effects. The richer full flavor meals fill you up and satisfy your taste buds while consuming less calories and absorbing more nutrients helps your body burn away the fat.

Not only is steaming very healthy it is also a fast, easy way to cook a delicious meal for any season. Vegetables, fish, seafood, rice and even poultry can all be prepared in a steam cooker with little effort and amazing results. Most cook times even with food prep are well under thirty minutes and all you have to do is place your food in the steamer, set a timer and let it cook. It truly is one of the easiest cooking methods and a great way to obtain gourmet results no matter what your skill level in the kitchen is. There are many steam cooking recipes, guides and cookbooks available in stores and on the Internet. From mild to wild you can easily find some great tasting dishes that will please the whole family.

Using Boneless Chicken Thighs in Crockpot Recipes

Boneless chicken thighs are a great alternative to boneless breast because they still have the same wonderful poultry flavor but they are even more succulent and juicy. They are naturally a bit higher in fat than the breast, which means they are less likely to dry out when you cook them.

Crockpot cooking tends to keep meat juicy anyway because this is a moist cooking method but a lot of people prefer the flavor of thighs to breast. You can use skin-on or skinless thighs.

Using Boneless Chicken Thighs in Crockpot Recipes

The skinless ones do better in a slow cooker because fatty meat and slow cooking do not combine very well. This applies to beef and other meats too. Boneless chicken thighs can be combined with lots of other ingredients to make delicious slow cooker recipes. Fresh vegetables like onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, and zucchini are great with chicken and all kinds of sauces can be used, including creamy sauces, tomato-based ones, and even spicy international ones.

Chicken Romanoff with Noodles

The following recipe, which makes enough to serve four people, uses cayenne pepper to add a touch of spice to the delicious white sauce made from sour cream and cottage cheese. You will need a three or four quart size slow cooker to make this.

The cottage cheese gives this recipe a creamy, cheesy flavor and texture without using high fat ingredients like heavy cream. The sour cream fortifies the creaminess without adding quite so many calories as heavy cream would. You can use fresh chicken thighs or thawed ones for this. Make sure they are well thawed though; leave them in the refrigerator for a day before making this recipe to make sure.

If you are planning to be out all day, this is a really fantastic recipe because you just need to add the ingredients to the pot in the morning and you can leave it alone for five or six hours. When you get home, simply add the noodles and peas, and give it another half an hour. This is a one-pot meal because it contains meat, vegetables, noodles and everything else you need to make it rich and satisfying. It is a great dinner for the whole family.

What you will need:

20 oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs, in 3/4 inch pieces 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1/4 cup chopped onion 12 oz cottage cheese 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 1 cup thawed sweet peas 3 oz egg noodles 1 1/2 cups sour cream 1/2 cup grated parmesan Cooking spray, as neededHow to make it:

Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray. Stir the chicken, cayenne pepper, and onion together in the crockpot. Combine the sour cream, cottage cheese, and parmesan with the flour and pour this over the chicken.

Cover and cook on a low heat for five or six hours. Stir the mixture and add the peas and uncooked egg noodles. Turn the heat up to high, cover the pot, and cook the dish for another twenty or thirty minutes, or until the noodles are soft. Garnish with chives and serve.
