Step 1: Pour Water
Don't pour too much water; just enough to cover the bottom of the pot by about 3 centimeters.
Step 2: Place the Steamer Trivet
A steamer trivet is not essential, but you can also use a porcelain bowl directly. The main thing is to ensure that the water doesn't overflow into the chicken. However, a trivet can increase efficiency and prevent the chicken from being soaked in steam during the cooking process.
Step 3: Add the Chicken Breast
Place the chicken breast directly on the trivet, or you can put it in a plate first and then onto the trivet. It's up to you!
Step 4: Begin Steaming
Steaming should be faster than boiling, so a small piece of chicken breast typically takes about 10 minutes to cook through.
Step 5: Tear Apart
Once cooled, you can tear the chicken breast into strips along its natural grain. For young kittens, tear the strips finer, while for adult cats, they can be a bit thicker.
Step 6: Enjoy!
When it comes to taste, steamed chicken breast is often preferred over boiled, as it tends to have a richer flavor. Even the cat parent can tell the difference; the steamcooked chicken just has a more intense aroma.
