Here is the original recipe for Baf's Award Winning Chicken and Vegies in the Varoma with all the variations.
500 g of stock
500g potatoes
500g chicken breasts
500g of vegies
100g cream cheese
20g flour
Put say half litre of stock in the TM bowl, (water and stock concentrate if you are making the stock yourself).
Potatoes chopped up in the steamer basket
Chicken breast cut into strips in the Varoma dish (bottom layer), sprinkle with some Herbamore or other seasoning
Vegies on the top layer of the Varoma dish (whatever vegies you like, fill it up!)
Cook potatoes on Varoma temp for 10mins speed 4, then put the Varoma on the top for a further 20mins
If all are cooked, remove Varoma and potatoes, set aside and keep warm.
To the liquid remaining in the TM bowl, add 100g block of Philly cream cheese and about 30g of flour, cook for 2 mins on speed 4, 100C
That then becomes the cheesy sauce to pour over the chicken, vegies and potatoes
These are the variations for this recipe that are within all the posts. Thanks CP63 for compiling them.
This recipe has been adapted to suit the taste buds of our forum members, and some of the variations are:

c) honey, mustard, Maggie Beer Verjuice, garlic
d) Substitute Potatoes with 200g dry Pasta shells/macaroni – no need for flour/cornflour (will need to increase stock to 1 litre, if too much at end just reduce on Varoma before adding cream cheese and cornflour)

A little moreI basically pound a piece of chicken (breast or thigh, thighs make nice little ones that don't take that long to cook) then put whatever as the filling, - ham and cheese, spinach and feta, sundried tomato and feta (dd1's 2 favourite things), mushrooms and cheese, tomato and olive etc, roll up and place in foil parcels. Put potatoes or rice in the basket and water in the bowl and the chicken parcels in the varoma. Cook on varoma for 25 mins, adding veg to the varoma with 10 mins to go.
