Step preview
- Place the chicken into the stasher bag or bag you will use to seal the chicken in
- Add all the other ingredients and seal the bag
- If using a stasher, you need to expel as much air as possible from the bag prior to sealing
- Massage the chicken with the ingredients and make sure the chicken is covered with the oil and lemon juice
- Allow to marinate for a minimum of 4 hours but up to 48 hours in the fridge
- When ready to cook, fill water to the 1L mark in the Thermomix bowl and insert the simmering basket
- Just place the bag directly into the Thermomix bowl with the blade cover in place
- Cover with more water if needed
- The water doesn't need to fully cover the chicken in the bag, but should certainly come up at least half way
- Cook - approx 20 min, 80°C, speed 3
- Serve as you would any other chicken, we drizzled with EVOO, added a sprig of thyme and a lime cheek then served it sliced with salad
