    Mexican Chicken Rice - Week 48, 2015

    Jump to recipe

    I love meals that can be whipped up quickly in the Thermomix!  I love the flavours from my Taco Seasoning in this dish and as this makes a huge quantity.  It's great for feeding a crowd!

    Thermomix Mexican Chicken Rice - Week 48 - ThermoFun

    Ingredients

    • 2 batches ThermoFun Taco Seasoning - mix, divided (2 tablespoon in total if you already have some made up)
    • 600g chicken thighs, cut into large strips
    • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
    • 1 onion, peeled and halved
    • 1 red capsicum, quartered
    • 20g olive oil
    • 400g can sweet corn kernels, drained
    • 400g can red kidney beans, drained
    • 350g basmati rice
    • 20g TM vegetable stock concentrate
    • 60g ThermoFun Tomato Paste
    • 1000g boiling water from kettle
    • 1 bunch coriander, leaves and stems
    • 1 lime, zest and juice, divided

    Garnish

    • 1 avocado, diced
    • sour cream

    Instructions

    1. Place all taco seasoning ingredients into a dish and mix well. Set aside.
    2. Coat chicken strips with half (5 tsp) taco seasoning.
    3. Wet and squeeze a sheet of baking paper. Line the upper layer of the varoma tray. Twist the corners of the paper to make a shallow ‘bowl’ shape and place chicken onto the baking paper ‘bowl’. Be sure to keep the side vents exposed so steam can circulate freely.
    4. Place garlic, onion, capsicum, oil and remaining taco seasoning into TM bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 5.
    5. Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse / MC off.
    6. Add corn and kidney beans and cook 2 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse. Set aside in pre-warmed ThermoServer. No need to wash TM bowl.
    7. Place rice into simmering basket and rinse under tap until water runs clear.
    8. Place stock, tomato paste and boiling water into TM bowl. Insert simmering basket into TM bowl.
    9. Place assembled Varoma onto TM lid and cook 18 mins / Varoma / speed 1.
    10. While rice and chicken are cooking, roughly chop the coriander, finely zest the lime then cut it in half.
    11. Squeeze one half of lime over corn and bean mix in ThermoServer.
    12. Add cooked rice, coriander (set aside some for garnish) and lime zest into ThermoServer and combine well.
    13. Squeeze remaining half of lime over chicken.
    14. To serve, divide rice between plates. Place chicken onto rice and garnish with diced avocado, coriander and a dollop of sour cream.

    Notes

    Additional Serving Suggestion: use it inside a burrito style wrap with some crunchy lettuce.

      This is just so tasty and an awesome, easy, all in one meal that makes a large quantity. We enjoyed it the first night as is and then used the left overs the next night in a burrito wrap with salad as you suggested. Also made your salsa to go with it. Thumbs up all round. Will be a regular for sure. Thanks!
