You know how when you get a new toy, you can't get enough of it? Well, this week we're crazy about our new Ziploc steamer bags. At first some of our testers thought these bags were just another way to steam veggies. But this just isn't the case. Check out this great recipe that's sure to be a hit.

Serves 2

2     boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2  cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2  cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/2  medium onion, peeled and diced (about 1/2 cup)
1     teaspoon cornstarch or flour
1/2  teaspoon salt
1/4  cup prepared chunky salsa
1     large tomato, diced

Combine chicken, black beans, corn, onion, cornstarch or flour, and salt in a large Ziploc Brand Zip ‘n Steam bag. Seal bag and shake to mix ingredients.

Cook on high power for 6 minutes until chicken is fully cooked, with no trace of pink. If needed, continue microwaving at 30 second intervals until done.

Allow bag to stand 1 minute before handling. Carefully open bag and add salsa and diced tomato. Gently squeeze to distribute ingredients and serve.

To serve 4, recipe may be doubled and cooked for 7 to 8 minutes in a large Ziploc Brand Zip ‘n Steam Bag.
