I cooked this tonight. It was delicious.
But.... being a male and new to using a thermomix, I didn't realise with the newer model You don't use a speed for reverse and it broke up the chicken a little bit. Next time I will perfect it tho...
Hopefully this may be of help to any other new users of the new model
thermofun says
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. However I'm a little confused with what you mean about not needing a speed with Reverse. Reverse on both models need a speed selected. I'd suspect with your chicken breaking up is because you used breasts rather than thighs. Try it next time with thighs and it won't shred. By the way all my recipes are tested in both models TM31 and TM5. :)
Anne says
I find if you use the butterfly the chicken does not break down too much
thermofun says
Thanks Anne, yes the butterfly does help. As does using thigh fillets (not breast fillets as they are a softer meat) and i cut the thighs into large cubes.
Tania says
I made this tonight, I used already cooked chicken shredded and cooked bacon left over from breakfast just added in the last few minutes of cooking. Thanks for a quick an easy recipe, will be a regular in our house hold.

Made this tonight but added some fresh asparagus from the garden in the last few minutes of cooking. So quick, so tasty, thanks for another great recipe Leonie.
thermofun says
Thank you Liz - great idea adding fresh asparagus too! :)
Tania says
Yes it's Monday...and I had one of those days! So was glad I had all the ingredients for this one already in the fridge for a super quick and easy dinner. The kids said it was like a chicken carbonara and loved it. Thanks, this one will be a regular one for any day of the week.
