Instructions
Step 1
Place the alfredo sauce, chicken stock, white wine, and milk in the pot. Stir until combined. Add the pasta and continue to stir until combined.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, add all Level 2 ingredients and toss until fully combined.
Step 3
Set up a dredging station to prepare chicken. Place flour in a medium bowl. Place the beaten eggs in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 4
Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides. Bread each tender by dredging in flour, dipping in egg wash, then dredging in breadcrumb mixture.
Step 5
Place a 15-inch sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Add the zucchini mixture to the center and fold the edges in to create a sealed packet. Place the foil packet on the bottom layer of the Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, then place the rack in the pot over the pasta mixture.
Step 6
Slide the Deluxe Layer through the lower layer’s handles. Place the chicken tenders and lemon halves face up on the Deluxe Layer.
Step 7
Close the lid and move the slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 425°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 15 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 8
When cooking is complete, carefully remove the entire rack. Stir the remaining grated Parmesan into the pasta and serve with chicken tenders and zucchini.
