How to steam & shred chicken breasts in the Thermomix

Step 1

Make a slit in a large chicken breast (approx 400g) so that you can open it up flat.

Step 2

Place 1000g (1 litre) of water into the Thermomix bowl. Add 1 tsp chicken stock powder (see notes).

Step 3

Place the cut chicken breast flat onto the Varoma tray and cook on Varoma, Speed 2, 20 minutes.

Step 4

To shred the chicken, drain the water from the Thermomix bowl. Cut the chicken breast in half and place into the Thermomix bowl.

Step 5

Chop on Reverse, Speed 4, 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat until you have a consistency you like (I generally shred my chicken for a total of 10 seconds).

Step 6

* Optional step - add whole egg mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix on Reverse Speed 2 until combined (this makes a really yummy sandwich filling).
