  • We really enjoyed this

    We really enjoyed this recipe. I oven baked two chicken breast drizzled with olive oil so they stayed moist, then shredded and stirred through at the end. I also added a few extra vegetables. We will definitely be making this one again.

    Based on comments above I reduced the water and rice proportionately - I used 320g rice, 200g wine (why would you want to cut that back!!) 65g juice (1/2 an orange), and 640g water. The only problem was I probably didn't have enough fluid as I cooked it for 22 minutes as I had close to 600g chicken in the Varoma, so it was a bit gluggy through overcooking on my part. I tipped the contents into the thermoserver, then popped the cooked chicken into the bowl and shredded it for 6 seconds, reverse speed 4, and it was brilliant and time saving! Will try again with more water, as I liked having a lot of chicken in it.

    Very tasty, this was the first hot dish I attempted in my thermomix (received mine last night) I had to leave chicken cooking for lot longer than instructions (I may have had too much chicken steaming) was very happy with the taste as this was also my first time cooking a risotto.  My one year old loved it tmrc_emoticons.)

    Yumm thank you, hubby and I enjoyed this a lot. Couldn't add the full water amount to the jug though as it hi max level at about 650ml and had to add an extra 5 mins at the end as the chicken was still pink but it all worked well and tastes amazing.
