    HOW TO STEAM A CHICKEN BREAST IN THE THERMOMIX

    Step 1. Make a slit in a large chicken breast (approx 400g) so that you can open it up flat.

    Step 2. Place 1000g (1 litre) of water into the Thermomix bowl. Add 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (optional - see recipe card for notes).

    Step 3. Place the cut chicken breast flat onto the Varoma tray.

    Step 4. Cook on Varoma, Speed 2, 20 minutes.

     

    HOW TO SHRED A CHICKEN BREAST IN THE THERMOMIX

    Step 1. Drain the water from the Thermomix bowl (that you just used to steam the chicken breast).

    Step 2. Cut the chicken breast in half and place into the Thermomix bowl.

    Step 3. Chop on Reverse, Speed 4, 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat until you have a consistency you like (I generally shred my chicken for a total of 10 seconds).

    Step 4. Optional - add whole egg mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix on Reverse Speed 2 until combined (this makes a really yummy sandwich filling).

      Does the chicken stock go on to the chicken breast or in the water?
