ITALIAN MICROWAVE CHICKEN
When we moved out to a friend's farm the house we were renting didn't have an oven or stovetop (bar the wood burning one that filled the kitchen with smoke). So all my cooking was restricted to an electric frying pan and a microwave oven. After experimenting for a few weeks I came up with this little number which is super easy and full of flavour

- Sit the chicken on top and sprinkle the stock powder on the vegetables and the chicken and season with salt and pepper.

MICROWAVE CHICKEN CACCIATORE
This is one of the few main dishes I cook completely in the microwave. It's easy, delicious and simple to adapt to ingredients on hand. If I don't have spaghetti sauce, I substitute a can of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce, along with some basil, oregano, and a bay leaf. You can also cut the chicken into strips or chunks, depending on your preference.
