Title: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on February 27, 2013, 04:17:38 am


I have adapted this recipe from Neil Perry's Steamed Lemon Chicken.  The finished dish is light and juicy.
Perfectly suited to cooking in the Varoma.  This amount would form part of Chinese banquet,  or for a family,  with rice and stir fried veggies,  a meal.

350g chicken thigh fillets, skin on,  cut into 3 pieces.
1  1/2 lemons,  1/4 length wise
pinch of freshly ground white pepper ,  to serve.
2 spring onions, julienned to serve.
MARINADE
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine, ( could use rice wine vinegar or dry Sherry)
1  1/2 Tablespoons of light Soy Sauce
1  1/2 Tablespoons of Oyster Sauce
2 teaspoons Sesame oil
2 teaspoons of sea salt
1 Tablespoon of sugar.

Place chicken into heat proof dish that , will fit into the Varoma,  and has a lid or can be covered with foil.
Squeeze the juice from the lemons over the chicken,  Add the skins to the dish and stir.
Mix all marinade ingredients together and add to dish,  Stir.
Leave for 30 mins
Add 1 liter of cold water to TMX bowl,  place dish with chicken into Varoma and set TMX for 40 mins/Varoma/speed 2.
( I place 2 Bamboo Skewers under dish to allow steam to better circulate )
( If you wish to reduce the cooking time,  add boiling water to TMX bowl)

Modifications done by forum members.
Frozzie thickened the sauce so that it would stick to the pasta.
Judy left out the salt, used only 1 lemon and used dark soy.
Katiej used chicken breast and reduced the cooking time.
Jamberie This is her method. Here's what I did:
1. Cut the chicken (breast) and marinade for 30 mins as per instructions
2. Start the garlic rice...3 cloves of garlic and 30g EVOO 3min/Varoma/Sp3
3. Add 1Lt water to the bowl
4. Put the vessel containing the chicken in the varoma, then the varoma in place. 30min/Varoma/Sp3.5
5. When the timer is down to 20minutes place 350g of rice into the basket and put in the bowl. Replace the Varoma. Continue cooking 20min/varoma/sp3.5
6. Cut up veggies
7. Place veggies around the varoma according the length of time to cook.

This looks great Chookie, would it matter if you didn't have the skin on the chicken and do you think you could use breast fillet and just steam for a shorter period of time?
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken

looks & reads delicious Chookie  :-* can't wait to make it.

If only I didn't already have my chicken steaming when I saw this...YUM.  I wonder if DH would mind chicken 2 nights in a row...he's such a steak boy, but this sounds great.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on February 27, 2013, 07:11:35 am
Wonder,  i made it without the skin as this is what I had and it was good.  I think breast would be too dry,  but it is worth a try. 
I am making it again tomorrow for visitors.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: judydawn on February 27, 2013, 07:16:09 am
Looks brilliant Chookie, who would ever have thought it was steamed.  I would do it without the skin too as I always buy skinless thighs.

DH is working late tonight, so I've just had this for dinner tonight. 

Mine came out quite a bit paler than the pic, but very delicious! 
The kids ate all the chicken and my 3yr old niece who is visiting even asked for seconds, and she is supposedly a fussy eater who doesn't eat much! 

Thanks for a delicious meal!!
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on February 28, 2013, 05:36:25 am
Jo,  yours is the correct colour.  I forgot to mention that I had run out of light soy and used 1/2 the amount of dark soy. 
Glad the kids liked it,  makes life easy.

Just cooking this now... Into thermie it goes ..

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/01/ebe9a8ad.jpg)

And end result after my additions as that what i felt like

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/01/eby7upym.jpg)

A very lemony creamy pasta .. I just cooked as per directions added about a cup of cooked peas to the cooked pasta, took out the lemon wedges and put the sauce in a saucepan and added a few shallots and a cup of cream... Cooked it up a bit then poured it over peas, chicken and pasta.. We enjoyed it but it was very lemony.. :)

If i did this again i woud try to thicken the sauce a bit so it sticks to the pasta better..
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 01, 2013, 11:02:43 am
Frozzie,  interesting.  Could add 1/2 the skins.  Thickening sauce a good idea.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Frozzie on March 01, 2013, 11:11:51 am
I did add the extra half a lemon chookie so i wouldnt wadte it, so would probably just leave the extra out next time..definately worth tweaking.. My pasta version not your recipe 😊.... Will also cook as per recipe with rice and stir fried greens.. Just felt like pasta tonight :)
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Bootobethin on March 01, 2013, 09:38:10 pm
I made this Lemon Chicken last night.
It was tasty but way too salty!
Does it really have 2 tea spoons of sea salt as soy is also salty?
I will certainly make this again and not add any salt and see how that goes.
Thanks for the recipe.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Frozzie on March 02, 2013, 12:51:44 am
Mine wasnt salty but i had an extra half of lemon (juice and skins) and added a cup of cream so cant comment..
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: judydawn on March 02, 2013, 01:59:01 am
I've got this cooking at the moment and only added 1 lemon, left out the salt completely and used dark soy sauce as I liked the colour of Chookies.  Have rice cooking at the same time and have the vegies all chopped up and ready to go once the chicken and rice are in the thermoserver.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 02, 2013, 03:03:52 am
I made as recipe except for the light soy sauce,  ( I used 1/2 quantity of dark) we didn't find it too salty.  I normally use very little salt in cooking. 
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken

Loved this dish Chookie, thanks for converting it - certainly nice enough to serve to visitors.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 02, 2013, 04:20:39 am
Judy,  glad you like it.  So easy in the Varoma.  Did you do the rice and veggies at the same time?
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: judydawn on March 02, 2013, 04:41:01 am
I did the rice for the first 16 minutes then removed it to the thermosaver and continued on with the cooking of the chicken.  I thickened that in the microwave whilst doing the vegies in the TM bowl following this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9915.0) recipe but adding some zucchini and beans.

Looks delicious. Do you mind sharing the veges. They look really nice too.

Medusa,  I have written recently how I do the stir fried veggies. Will try and remember. :-))
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Frozzie on March 02, 2013, 08:35:09 am
Chookie you wrote this before .. On another thread somewhere but dont know which.. I copied it with your lemon chicken recipe.. Here it is..

usually 3 veggies,  ( Asp, Red Cap, Chinese greens)
And water chestnuts,  for crunch.  

Heat a little peanut oil in a wok,  add crushed garlic and 3 coins of green ginger,  heat for a few seconds.

Add vegetables and stir fry for about 1 min.

Add 1/2 cup of water and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and 1 cube of chicken paste. Bring to boil and  put lid on for a couple of mins.  

Mix a little cornflour in a little water and stir into veggies,   Boil for 1 min.

Lovely as is with rice.  

can add cashews or Almonds.

We had this for dinner tonight and it was lovely.
It's been ages since I used my varoma.
I used chicken breast, so reduced the cooking time as I didn't want it to become dry.
We had it with rice and vegies.

Plenty left over for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks for another great recipe Chookie!  ;D

What were your other courses Nikki? Did you get a good score from the judges? ;D
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Nikkit on March 03, 2013, 12:19:40 pm
At "The Fairy Finale" (Finale has the little flicky thing on the 'e'  and I don't know how to do that!) Instant Restaurant Entree was Caremlised Onion Tart, main was Lemon Chicken served with steamed rice and a baby spinach salad and dessert was mixed berry eton mess.
Miss 11 (the fairy fanatic) did a lot (and it was darned good too!) and her scores were pretty high - "Manu" (my Aunty) gave scores of 18 out of 10, 23 out of 10 and 15 out of 10 along with her version of what Manu would have said! (which was hilarious! And I think the scores were so high because my aunty does all the cooking at her house - no-one ever cooks for her, so she just loved it) 
"Pete" (my Mum) gave lower scores ("Manu" thought she was a bit harsh!) 15, 12 and 8 out of 10.
Miss 11 had set the table all on her own, did the plating up (as apparently I am no good at that side of things  :-)) ) and was very serious about the whole evening, she is busting to do a MKR with me!
You should have seen the state of the kitchen when we had finished - thank goodness the judges decided they had better help with the dishes!

Nikkit,  did Miis 11 follow the instructions as written?   I may have taken more trouble with the writing if I thought kiddies were going to follow the recipe.  Sounds like good fun.

Have just read your comments.  Sounds like a good time was had by all.  A budding chef there.

OK Judy, new category.    Easy,  cheap and tasty. Ha Ha.    Might encourage more people to use the Varoma.

Post by: Bootobethin on March 03, 2013, 09:41:42 pm
I cooked this again without adding any salt. It was fantastic and easy.
I doubled the recipe in two bowls and used drumsticks with skin on and thigh fillets with no skin.
It was very tasty and is now a favourite.
Thank you Chookie.

Katie, I will probably use breast when I do this recipe too. How much did you reduce the cooking time by? :)

Sorry Amy only just saw this - I cooked it for around 10 minutes less.  I cut the chicken breast into quite large pieces, hoping it might not dry out.  It wasn't dry at all.

I cooked rice in the basket at the same time, once the rice was cooked I placed it in my Thermoserver and continued steaming the chicken.

The left-overs where nice for lunch at work today.

achookwoman - Miss 11 had no problems following the recipe. If she did she would have asked me.
It was a good night and she loves cooking. I'd be surprised if she didn't do something along the food lines when she gets older. Meanwhile she can keep practising on us - I love it when I don't have to cook!

Post by: janetski on March 05, 2013, 06:07:08 am
Hi chookwoman!  Recipe sounds great, but me still being a greeny at using my TM wonder about the dish that will fit into the vermo. Do you have to put the lid on the vermo, or just cover the dish?  Sorry to sound so very basic.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 05, 2013, 07:34:43 am
Janetski, question is fine.  Cover both.  you can cover the dish with foil,  just a bit more difficult to remove to stir.  I love steaming so when I got the TMX,  I put the Varoma in a bag and went to the local shopping center and tried lots of pyrex dishes to see what would fit.  When I cook in the Varoma,  the dish that i use,  I take to the table and each person serves them selves.  Hope this helps.

I didn't cover my bowl Chookie, couldn't see any reason to do it.

I cover it just so drops of water don't go into the dish.  I have read where some chefs cover with kitchen hand towel.  i think it was Neil Perry. 
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Wonder on March 06, 2013, 08:55:10 pm
We had this last night and it was a big hit. DH followed the instructions exactly  which I had changed slightly to reduce the cooking time by ten minutes for breast fillets and it was perfect. The stir fry vegetables were also a hit. DH has said he will definitely make again.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 06, 2013, 09:26:29 pm
Wonder,  I am pleased that you liked it.   You could turn it into a All in One Dish by placing veggies in tray and rice in basket.  However the Stirfry is pretty easy.

I made this last night and served it with rice and a stir fry of broccoli and shitake mushrooms.  It was delicious and very easy and OH has said it should go onto our regular list.

Because I don't have a thermoserver and wanted to cook the rice and chicken for the same length of time, I used breast and cut it into cubes and cooked it over the rice for the 20 minutes the rice took to cook.   It worked out perfectly.

Sorry no photo - it all got eaten too quickly.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 09, 2013, 08:02:01 pm

Post by: EmeraldSue on March 15, 2013, 11:10:34 pm
I made this last night with 2 packets of free range "lovely legs".  I had about 1.25kg of skinless chicken legs which I placed in a bowl without a lid. I used boiling water and cooked for 30min. At this point, they looked cooked, but I popped out to the neighbours for a (not so) quick drink, and when I returned, I cooked them for a further 5 minutes to make sure they were hot.  I served them with stirfried veggies and rice I had cooked the night before.
The sauce was really runny, so next time I will put a lid on the dish and see if that helps. I used one large lemon, but my family didn't really like the lemon in the dish,  ??? so next time I think I will replace the lemon with some garlic and ginger. Mind you, I will need to change the name of the dish ;)
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: judydawn on March 15, 2013, 11:14:11 pm
ES, I thicken the juices with cornflour.  I do this in the microwave whilst I am stir frying some vegies.  I like a good amount of sauce when serving this dish over rice and having done it twice without a lid on I'm happy to continue doing it this way.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: EmeraldSue on March 16, 2013, 12:47:18 am
Thanks Judy. I did thicken the leftover juices as there is some chicken leftover, but we were too hungry last night to wait!
I also omitted the salt from the marinade and used dark soy.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on March 16, 2013, 03:06:57 am
Made this again today.  Hardly any juice.  Certainly not enough to thicken.   Must depend on the chicken.  Wouldn't mind a bit more juice.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: judydawn on March 16, 2013, 03:22:14 am
It must depend on something Chookie as I've had plenty of liquid on both occasions I made this - I doubled the recipe for my visitors yesterday so needed a couple of tablespoons of cornflour to thicken the juices.
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: Jamberie on July 08, 2014, 10:22:26 am
Yum Yum Yum!

This is a winner and even DD (age 3) gobbled it all up and asked for seconds!

I followed the recipe and combined the cooking with Bron's Garlic Rice: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=655.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=655.0) and some steamed veggies, making it a Varoma meal.

Here's what I did:
1. Cut the chicken (breast) and marinade for 30 mins as per instructions
2. Start the garlic rice...3 cloves of garlic and 30g EVOO 3min/Varoma/Sp3
3. Add 1Lt water to the bowl
4. Put the vessel containing the chicken in the varoma, then the varoma in place. 30min/Varoma/Sp3.5
5. When the timer is down to 20minutes place 350g of rice into the basket and put in the bowl. Replace the Varoma. Continue cooking 20min/varoma/sp3.5
6. Cut up veggies
7. Place veggies around the varoma according the length of time to cook.

Yum. Yum. Yum. Thanks Chookie for (another) great recipe :) This will be a regular!

This sounds great, thanks Jamberie for resurrecting it. I do have a question though, I don't think I have anything that might hold the chicken and fit appropriately. Could you instead do the wet scrunched baking paper trick to hold the chicken in the varoma? Would it work?
Title: Re: Lemon Chicken
Post by: achookwoman on December 01, 2015, 01:07:17 pm
jam, glad you like it.  Thanks for posting on your Face book page.
Sarah, I don't think the paper would work, but you could use foil or an oven bag. Double the foil and make a boat shape.

Sarah, do you have a Coles nearby? They sell handy Wiltshire vessels that are perfect for this, I have a photo on my pc, I'll try to find it for you.
Edit: sorry I got the brand wrong, they are Stanley Rogers (pic in my next post)

Which one do you think is the better one? Larger or smaller? I've got no concept of sizes, my husband thinks it's hilarious.

I'm having to sew some badges on my daughters' scout uniforms and it says to leave 1cm. I have no idea what that is, and had to use a ruler. I can't gauge these things.

Sorry! I just saw your comment! I have one of the large and two of the small. Two small ones seem to fit snuggly next to each other, which is handy in this home because DH has chicken when I have fish.
