Step 1

Place all Level 3 ingredients except for the coconut oil in a large, resealable plastic bag. Massage the outside of the bag to work the marinade over all parts of the chicken, then place the bag in the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours. Remove the bag from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 2

When the chicken is marinated, add all Level 1 ingredients to the pot and stir to combine.
Step 3

Place all Level 2 ingredients in a large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Place the vegetables in the Multi-Purpose Pan. Place the bottom layer of the Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, place the pan on the rack, then place the rack in the pot.
Step 4

Slide the Deluxe Layer through the lower layer’s handles. Coat the chicken with coconut oil, then place on the Deluxe Layer.
Step 5

Close the lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 385°F, and set time to 25 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 12 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 6

When cooking is complete, carefully remove the entire rack with the chicken and pan. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with chicken, carrots, and snow peas. Garnish with green onion if desired.
