Coconut Coriander Chicken
Sometimes having a healthy dinner is just what you need. It needs to be easy, fast, light and super tasty. This super tasty steamed coconut coriander chicken is so easy to prepare and it is done in less than 30 minutes. You can easily increase the quantity of the chicken by adding more strips next to the vegetables in the Varoma dish. I use my favourite two Varoma accessories to make this Thermomix recipe; the stainless steel trivet and tray.
The tray is so versatile and you can use the tray to serve it straight at the breakfast table, so easy. After you are done, simply place the tray in the dishwasher and voila, all done. Not to worry though, steam can still circulate perfectly around the tray and nothing will prevent your lovely food from cooking all the way through. It is a perfect fit and much of such high quality, sourced by me to ensure you get the best products out there. The trivet helps circulate the steam even better and is made of proper stainless steel, not just chrome plated.

What can I replace pumpkin with? Interestingly none of us favour pumpkin 😬
Carrot, parsnip, courgette are all good options 🙂 x
Can I replace the pumpkin with something else e.g. Parsnip or carrot?
Of course 🙂 x
