This is a lovely easy dish to prepare, and is great served with either steamed rice, pasta, quinoa, or just a big bunch of steamed veggies. You can prepare the chicken dish first, and whilst that is resting then use the Thermomix to cook the other accompaniments to your meal.

Alternatively a big baking dish full of roasted veggies would be fabulous too. And if going down this path, don't forget some crusty sourdough to help soak up the juices!

If you don't have any veggie stock paste, then use chicken stock instead of water.
