Tip

You can use the Varoma for steaming during step 5 - it's a good way to cook your vegetables at the same time as cooking the chicken.

You can steam some eggs as well in step 5 - they will be hard-boiled and are lovely peeled, chopped and added to the dish as a garnish.

Delicious served with rice or bread, and a green salad or steamed vegetables.

To toast your almonds, heat 5 min/Varoma/Counter-clockwise operation/Gentle stir setting then transfer to a plate and leave to cool 20 minutes before grinding.
