It feels like the middle of the Antarctic at the moment and I need something warm and delicious in my belly! :) This thermomix lime ginger chicken fills that spot perfectly. It's a beautiful light meal that leaves room for the most important accompaniment to any meal DESSERT! ;) In all seriousness this is so hard to describe but it is just a beautiful meal that I think you will find a lot of the family members will be heading to the bowl for more!
I can't remember how I came across this recipe but I do remember having something similar at a friends house one get together. I have a feeling it was someone's birthday and we finished the meal off with this Baileys & Chocolate Mud Cake . That's how long ago it was.... (and no I'm not going senile just because I have had a big birthday recently! :) Although if you ask some of the Funkies they would disagree... lol!)

Tried this tonight but with lemon as I didn’t have any limes, it was nice.
