If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Made with a mix of breast and thigh meat (250g of each). Baby loves these.
Kids like these and it's another way to sneak a bit of fruit in. Thanks for a great recipe.
Delicious recipe. Made for my 8 month old daughter so I left out the stock, salt and pepper. I also baked them in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees which was probably a touch too long for the size I made as they are a little dry. I also didn't coat them in flour. Next time I'll try with chicken thigh. Thanks for the great recipe. I had to put them in the freezer to stop me eating them all. My daughter loved them too.
So tasty, healthy and delicious. Enjoyed by my 7 month old and the adults. Lemon thyme went really well with the chicken. Handy to freeze and pull out when needed.
Made these for my 11 month old son and he loved them. I baked them for 30 mins on 180 as another user reccomended. Because I was baking them i didnt roll them in flour and used baking paper on the tray. I used half a 'Continental chicken stockpot' instead of a stock cube. May use a little less onion next time. Thanks!
My 32 yr old husband loved them!
Yum! I used chicken thighs and baked these little goodies. Hopefully there will be some left for my baby!
These are really yummy... I baked them on 180 for 30mins
Wow, thanks everyone for the feedback. Poppyb, how long did you bake them for? We have to get extra fats into my daughter so I'm happy to shallow fry for now, but keen to know for later.
great recipie. baked them too and added sesame seeds to flour coating and my 10 month old shovelled them in. very happy, total replacement for chicken nuggets
