      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.

Tip

I used day old pepita and chia bread from the Basic Cookbook.

Use any vegetables from the fridge. There is a good amount of sauce to spread over vegetables if you make a larger amount than pictured tmrc_emoticons.-)

Stuffing can have variants such as lemon zest, almonds, sweet potato. Will try this next time!

Perhaps the mustard powder could be substituted with Curry Powder or French onion Soup mix.

 

This recipe can also be cooked in the TM31

    Perfect balance of chicken and veggies. Very tasty and the apricots give it a sweet taste that is not too overbearing. Would recommend. Easy to make
