      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.

    OMG my kids actually ate dinner! Big hit in the family especially since my daughter loves chicken. Just like other comments, I added frozen beans and spinach in the last 3 minutes of cooking. It was delicious! Had to substitute the pine nuts for slivered almonds which I toasted. Will make again for sure Big Smile
