Tip
I often steam the sweet potato seperately to create more room in the varoma for steaming the chicken.

I cooked the chicken separately on the stove. I only used 300g cream and made up the remainder with milk and water. I added a teaspoon on dijon mustard to the sauce. I put rice on the bottom of the dish before adding the chicken mix, sauce and breadcrumbs. Would definitely make again.
I have been making this recipe for over a year now. I just love it! I always make it for party's and its a big hit. If I run out of bread crumbs I will use wheatgerm. Thanks so much for this recipe. I thought it was about time I left a review 😊
This was very nice. I used evaporated milk and coconut cream instead of cream. I also added cooked pasta to the oven dish. I didn't have any ham or pine nuts so I am keen to try the recipe with these two ingredients next time. Thanks for the recipe.
This dish was delicious! Absolutely love it. ❤️
Very delicious
Made this dairy and gluten free by swapping bread crumbs for
rice crumbs, used gf flour and swapped cream for coconut cream and left parmasean
out altogether.
Fantastic taste - if you like coconut.
Makes quite a lot- more than 4 serves.
I didnt have enough full cream so mixed it with coconut cream to make up the 600grams. still yummy!
I swapped ingredients so it was diary and wheat free using coconut cream and rice crumbs, without adding the parmesan into the breadcrumb mixture, still very yummy.
thanks guys, its a family fave
i normally cut the pumpkin approx .5 cm thickness not too think or it wont cook. ive found the breadcrumb coating over the chicken keeps it from drying out or overcooking, and yes the leftover is poured over the top to give the meal a slight "baked" topping. i hope this helps
Question: How thick did you slice the sweet potato? Please confirm that you put breadcrumbs on before putting in varoma - seems a bit strange to steam chicken with breadcrumbs on - esecially when you have indicated further down to breadcrumb the chicken after its cooked?
