  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
  • 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1. Season the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt. Put the chicken breasts onto the tray inside the steaming pot. Secure lid. Select Poultry, set the timer for 20 minutes, and press Start/Stop.

2. While the chicken is cooking, combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Reserve.
