CHICKEN, GRAPES AND WALNUTS
If you haven’t steamed chicken in your Thermomix, this summer is the time to start. You get the most amazing tender results and they are stunning for all sorts of salads. For best results, slice each chicken breast into 4 pieces and place into Varoma dish and tray. Place boiling water into Thermomix bowl and set Varoma into position. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Slice into smaller bite size pieces before combining with salad ingredients. OR shred the cooked chicken for a few seconds (really only about 4) with or without dressing, on Reverse + speed 4-5.

4 steamed chicken breasts
1 recipe orange dressing (see below)
500g red seedless grapes
2-3 stems celery cut on an angle
½ cup walnut pieces
2 teaspoon fresh tarragon or chervil if available.
