- 8 oz (250 g) sugar snap peas
- 1 1/2 lbs (750 g) "B" size red potatoes
- 2 tsp (10 mL) salt
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 oz/125 g each)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) Lemon Pepper Rub, divided

Place peas and 1/4 cup (50 mL) water into Large Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain using small Stainless Mesh Colander; rinse under cold water and set aside. Slice potatoes using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with v-shaped blade. Place potatoes, salt and enough water to cover into Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 13-16 minutes or until tender, stirring twice; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat Grill Pan over medium heat 5 minutes. Rub chicken with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the rub. Spray pan with olive oil using Kitchen Spritzer.

For dressing, juice lemon to measure 2 tbsp (30 mL). Combine juice, remaining rub and garlic pressed with Garlic Press in Small Batter Bowl. Slowly add oil, whisking constantly; set aside.
