I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- 1. (If you don't have cooked rice you can put your dry rice in the steamer basket in this step.) Fill your TM bowl with 1 litre of warm water. Place your chicken pieces on the varoma trays, leaving enough gaps for steam to circulate. Set your TM for 17 min/Varoma/speed 4.
2. Set chicken in varoma aside and empty water from TM bowl. Your chicken may not be cooked through at this point. That is ok, it will be cooked further later.
3. Spray a large (at least 2 litres) baking dish lightly with oil and place your rice into the dish.
4. No need to clean bowl. Place onion and garlic into the TM Bowl and chop 8 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down sides with spatula.
5. Add butter (or oil) and vege stock concentrate and Bacon (if using) then saute 4min/Varoma/speed 1.
6. Tip onion and garlic onto rice in baking dish and stir through using spatula. No need to clean bowl.
7. Place tomatoes, capsicum and carrot into TM bowl. Chop 10 seconds/speed 6. Scrape sides and repeat for a few more seconds if carrot pieces are too large.
8. Add the Mexican Seasoning and mix in speed 4 til seasoning is incorporated.
9. Add chicken pieces that were set aside, then 6min/varoma/
"Gentle stir setting" reverse. MC on.
10. Pour Chicken and sauce into baking dish, stir through rice with spatula.
11. Top with salsa, then cheese.
12. Bake uncovered in 190°C for 10min or until cheese is nice and golden.
Serve with sour cream and Guacamole/Avocado.
Tip
This is a great way to use up leftover rice!!
You could add kidney beans in with the chicken for extra bulk and flavour.
For a vegetarian alternative, leave out the Chicken and add a tin of your favourite beans instead.

Recipe is created forTM 5
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!

Love, love, love this meal!!!
This was absolutely delicious!
My fussy kids loved it too. Served with sour cream, guacamole, and large tostadas.
Easy and yummy! Will definitely make it again.
Very tasty and easy will definitely be making it again
Delicious! Loved by all. Thank you for sharing.
Yum! Thank you - did a double batch (used two Thermies) with 1.4kg of chicken, 400g rice and LOTS of extra veges - was delicious! 1 batch fed 5 adults (two of whom had seconds) and a child. Will definitely make again!
Happy Thermomixing!
Julie73: definitely can increase chicken. You may need a larger baking dish as the meal makes a lot anyway.
This has been on my list of meals to make for WAY too long. I'm going to make it tomorrow and am wondering if anyone has increased the amount of chicken? We are big meat eaters and 500gr would not be enough for 5 adults. Happy to cook chicken in frying pan or on bbq - just wanting some advice. Thank you
Delicious, this was a hit in our house.
It will definitely feature regularly in our weekday meal plans.
Thank you for sharing 🤗
Well this was a delightful surprise! I converted it to stovetop as I doubled it (and thermi was busy cooking Skinnymixers chunky salsa), and it was well received by everyone 😊
