Stuffed And Steamed Chicken Breast
This recipe is now available as a full Thermomix recipe using the Varoma to steam your chicken breast and with a nice little cherry tomato sauce to go along with it, and appears in full in my cookbook For Foods Sake, available on here or in good bookstores around Australia (and probably some bad ones as well!!) This is the original version. Enjoy.
To make a quick sauce to serve with this chicken, I used 250 grams sliced button mushrooms, though Swiss brown are nicer. Using the pan that I browned the chicken in I deglazed the pan with a dash of champagne (flat and left over from someone's lunch!!) Add the mushrooms and fry off. Add more champagne and simmer whilst waiting for the chicken to cook. When chicken is done, add a dash of fresh cream to the sauce, reduce, add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately! Please remember who you are at all times, as you LICK the plate clean!

I will need to adjust the sauce recipe from the other entry that is on here. On this occasion I used 250 grams sliced button mushrooms, though Swiss brown are nicer. Using the pan that I browned the chicken in I deglazed the pan with a dash of champagne (flat and left over from someone's lunch!!) Add the mushrooms and fry off. Add more champagne and simmer whilst waiting for the chicken to cook. When chicken is done, add a dash of fresh cream to the sauce, reduce, add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately! And like I said, please remember who you are at all times, as you LICK the plate clean!
