Thermomix Model

    Recipe is created for
    TM 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!

    I love the recipe. I've adapted it slightly see below - and I reduce the amount of chicken and add some sweet potato

    I felt reverse speed 2.5 when cooking chicken was too much as mine disintegrate, however the flavour was beautiful and I have added it to my recipe collection to use again

    I love love love this recipe. It ended up very runny and I have made a note to myself to Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"  stir for the last part of the recipe in reverse instead if speed 2.

    I should have read the comments before I made it! Next time will also reduce the speed to avoid shredded chicken. Was my first chicken dish in thermi (had it less than a week) so still learning all the tricks! Made naan as well. Great recipe- really enjoyed it. For next time, how much ginger do you use?

    Thank you for this recipe, I really enjoyed it! My 2yo asked for more! I left it on speed 1 as per comments below and had minimal shredding of chicken. You may want to add ginger to your ingredients list as it seems to be missing. Great flavour my waistline thanks you!

    We love this recipe in our house! Our two children wolfed it down and one of them is a really fussy eater. 

    Thanks for the recipe, we'll definitely be having it again soon!

    I ended up with shredded chicken too, but it was still yummy. Only problem I had was ginger is not listed in the ingredients and I didnt look through the recipe when shopping.... so I made it without ginger.
