JD - this is absolutely delicious and one I certainly am going to share with visitors. I did saute the onion, garlic and red pepper - apart from that followed it to a T. Served it with a slice of swiss rosti cake & steamed vegies - yummo!
I took it to a party recently and everyone loved it Robyn - they enlikened it to sweet & sour chicken.
Yvette - delicious, nice and tasty cooked the day before and left in fridge - just cooked white rice with it. I added about half teaspoon of turmeric.
faffa - was a winner with all - so easy and quick too. Thanks johnro.
Chelsea - this is really tasty and easy. Thanks Robyn. My tweaks were chopping the capsicum in with the onion and garlic, cooking the onion etc off with some oil and adding the chicken in later (in with the mushrooms).
maddy - ......and tasty it was! Loved it, thanks Robyn. Stuck to the recipe but used the whole red capsicum, added a 1/2 packet of baby spinach in for the last 3 minutes of cooking and increased the chicken to 800 gms.
cookie - I cooked the rice and then put it in the thermoserver. I cooked the chicken in the frypan (quirky family) while I did the sauce in the TMX. I reduced the cooking time for the sauce as it didn't have the chicken in. It was really nice and we loved it.
dede - it was very tasty and better still, everyone loved it. Thank you so much for sharing. This is going into my folder of tried and loved recipes.
girlfromperth - this was so tasty.
Lady Ding - Thanks! My family loves this Tasty Chicken!
CC - it's delicious.
Foxx - Thanks Johnro for this superb recipe. We all loved it here.
Kiki J - everyone really enjoyed it! The only thing I did different was to chop up the mushrooms into itty little bits so the kids couldn't see them ... Thanks! Will be making this one again.
deedub - I really enjoyed this dish - unfortunately the little fuss pots didn't but that's not unusual - they are so hard to please. Never mind, meant I got leftovers the next day!
Amy - It is indeed very Tasty Chicken Robyn, thank you very much for the recipe.
JuliaC83 - I had chicken breast in the fridge so used that in place of thighs. Therefore it shredded up a bit. Very tasty though. Served it with a side of steamed silverbeet/broccoli/carrot. Yum.
-
Sounds lovely, saving this one. Used to make tumeric rice loads for the kids.
-
Lovely, thanks johnro. You are really getting into the converting these days, great to see.
-
JD - a result of the school year nearing an end - there is something exciting to dwell upon rather than the next assessment which needs to be edited and/or marked. Cheers - R :)

You are getting to know my DH and his love of spuds so well. :D :D :D :D :D

This looks delicious. This warm weather has knocked my cooking mojo around. All I can be bothered doing is icecream and sorbets, grills and salads. Must start doing some Christmas stuff for the freezer soon though.
-
Looks good Johnro, and JD the rosti cake looks great too. More to add to my "to try" list.
-
Looks great have put this on my menu list for next week thanks
-

Loved it, thanks Robyn :-*
Stuck to the recipe, but used the whole red capsicum and added a 1/2 packet of baby spinach in for the last 3 minutes of cooking,and increased the chicken to 800gms.
-
Definitely recognise that food Maddy - glad you enjoyed it, actually we haven't had it here for months (it was made for so many years pre-thermie, now no time to make when the wonderful dishes not attempted abound). :D :D
-
I took it to a party recently and everyone loved it Robyn - they enlikened it to sweet & sour chicken.
-
It's on our menu for this week. :D
-
I got all the ingredients today to make this. All organised.
-
We had it last night. I cooked the rice and then put it in the thermoserver. I cooked the chicken in the frypan (quirky family) while I did the sauce in the TMX. I reduced the cooking time for the sauce as it didn't have the chicken in.
It was really nice and we loved it.
-
Thanks Cookie for the additional tweaks to give us all so much choice :) :) - pleased that you enjoyed it. :) :)

Have you tried adding your diced chicken with 5 minutes cooking time to go Cookie? I know your family are like mine and not keen on their chicken cooked in the thermomix with normal cooking times. I have found however that when I add it with 5-6 minutes remaining it is beautifully cooked (I always check the largest piece) and not shredded or overcooked. It works with risottos, stews etc. Food for thought. :)
-
Thanks for prompting my memory Chelsea - I always follow your suggestion posted earlier and altered my hard copy of this recipe as the shredding of chicken does not sit well with any diners in this part of the country either. I obviously forgot to put the same suggestion on this recipe. :) :)
-
Thanks, will try that. DD is the fussy one Dh and I don't really care.
-
We had this tonight and it was very tasty, And better still everyone loved it. (pleasing a family of 7 is very difficult) Thank you so much for sharing. This is going into my folder of tried and loved recipes.
-
That is great for you dede - but it does not appear that you have had any difficulty pleasing your wonderful family of 7 since thermie arrived. They must hang out for the next wonderful cake or dessert. :) :)

They do enjoy most things I cook thats for sure. I have stopped buying any prepared snack foods now. I'm pretty lucky with my lot who love fruit and all enjoy drinking water. I refuse to send them to school with cordial and we seldom buy fizzy drinks. We do how every go through around 4 liters of milk a day. (we almost need a cow).
I do a lot of cooking thats for sure with so many hungry mouths to feed. (I cant beleive how much teenages eat)
I love when they all like something I make.
-
making this now smells divine let you know in a
few hours what family thinks love these wick pull
together meals
this was so tasty only thing was had to cook
the rice an extra 15 mins might of been the rice I was
using koala brand long grain. I thought I cooked rice great
the old fashion way boy was I wrong
this rice was perfect fluffy and individual grains
I love my thermomix
-
Just a quick question to those who have made this, as I plan to make it this week.Can you use Sweet Chilli Sauce for the chilli sauce or would you use Tabasco? And the BBQ sauce,can I substitute HP sauce?
-
I only ever use sweet chilli sauce in any recipe that calls for chilli sauce Denise and rarely ever have BBQ sauce in the house so I just use extra home made tomato ketchup so your HP sauce would be fine. As Bron once said - never not do a recipe because you don't have an ingredient, just substitute it with something else.
-
Wise words from Bron,Thanks Judy :-* :-*
-
Denise I never use anything else but sweet chilli sauce in this - hope that you enjoy it!!!!!! :) :)
-
Thanks Robyn for the advice. :-*
-
Thanks! My family loves this Tasty Chicken!
-
Pleased that your family enjoyed this very familiar dish (in your household)! :)
-

-
It is, thanks for bumping CC :)
On the menu this week.

-
I made the Tasty Chicken tonight and served with pasta. I didn't have time to cook the chicken and then the rice in TM, so I cooked the pasta on the stove at the same time as the chicken in the TM ;)
It is indeed very Tasty Chicken Robyn, thank you very much for the recipe :-*
-
Amy pleased that I could provide you with just a snippet after the enormity of what you give to all!! xx

We had this for dinner tonight. Still delicious. I have been looking through thermomix recipes that I had printed off.
-
It would be nice to revisit some of our favourites cookie.
-
I made this for dinner last night and we really enjoyed it. I added some finely sliced carrots, baby spinach and sliced snow peas. A real winner and will definately be making it again.
