Sous Vide Tequila Chilli Chicken
When someone mentions tequila with chicken, heads will usually turn and with good reason. Amazing. Get on it!
We loved creating our Taco Board last year during the shoot and I have to say we ate it for a few days. I think you can see why. It will feed a huge crowd and is the perfect summer entertaining idea. Make as little or as much of it as you want...sit back and chill while everyone tucks in.
The great thing about this recipe is that chicken breast is very often dry, but when you sous vide it, you will find it is moist and succulent with loads of flavour. This recipe can be made in any model Thermomix as long as you have the blade cover. Ask your consultant or check the Thermomix website. They are cheap and very handy for things like this. You may find many other ways to use this too, now that you are full bottle.
