baf65's Award Winning Creamy Chicken and Vegies in the Varoma.

[rainbow]

Thanks Cornish Cream, It is a help as I had no idea how much stock was left after the steaming/cooking  I will try making the sauce this weekend and will report back on how it works, Like you I do love the sauce.

This was a winner here too!

I used thighs instead of breast.  For the veggies we had carrot, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower & corn (frozen kernels).  1/2 a large block of Philly and 35g flour.  Our chicken sprinkles were granulated garlic.

This could also be great in a oven proof dish and sprinkled with grated cheese and baked!

Will be making this again.

Thank you baf65 + all the tweakers.

I made just  the sauce using 440g of stock, 100g cream cheese, and 30g cornflour.  I heated the stock for about 4 mins on varoma and then added the cream cheese and cornflour and cooked as per recipe, it made a lovely sauce, thanks for measuring the stock cornish cream.

Love this! So quick and easy and exactly what thermomix cooking is all about.
I use white wine in the sauce and it was delicious. You could also add some mustard or honey to make a honey mustard type sauce which i will try next time.

LUV YOUR IDEA OF PUTTING IN MUSTARD & HONEY SOUNDS LIKE MY STYLE OF COOKING

Maybe with pasta instead of potato as a "pasta bake" style dish?

[baf65]

i think the problem if you use pasta would be that all the starch would be left in the water so you wouldnt be able to make a sauce with it....you would need to cook the pasta separately
so do-able...but not an all - in dish

[Nay-nay]

Not sure if I've written this but I "cook" the pasta in the Thermoserver when I put this on to cook by pouring boiling water over it and letting it stand for the duration of the vegies and meat cooking - then it is all ready at the same time.

Are you talking dry packet pasta here Nay-nay or something like hokkein noodles?

[Nay-nay]

No - usually shell pasta. 

[cathy79]

Great idea Nay-Nay.

I made this the other night, such a great recipe. I freeze my chicken in 500g diced lots so had everything in the TMX cooking in 5 mins. Perfect easy dinner for getting home late.

I did chicken with honey and mustard sauce, delicious.

Going to try it again this week with pork fillets and the same sauce.

Well, I'm trying it with macaroni. I know there'll be the starch from the pasta, but that just means I won't have to add any other starch, as in cornflour, I'm hoping!

It's cooking as I type and I've sliced the chicken rather than dicing as I have a bit more than 500g. Sprinkled with lemon herb salt that I made by drying lemon peel and herbs. I sautéed a diced leek in butter first, then added white wine and home made chicken stock. Put macaroni on the same time and will probably remove 5 minutes prior to everything else.

I'm going to add mustard to the stock as well. So it's Lemony Mustard Creamy Chicken & Veggies!

[meganjane]

OK, update - Yum, Yum, Yum!!! Fantastic recipe, why did I wait so long to make it?

The macaroni took the full 20 minutes. I put carrot in the top tray and added broccoli after 10 minutes, then beans and sugar snap peas after another 5 minutes.

When cooking pasta instead of potato, use only 200g dry pasta and use around 1 L of stock. Stock reduces a great deal as it's absorbed into the pasta. If you do use too much, just cook on Varoma to reduce before adding cream cheese and cornflour. My stock was so flavoursome!

I used 125g of cream cheese and 35g cornflour as it still needed thickening.
