One pot meal - Chicken, Chick Pea and Corn Tomato Stew by Joanne Chan


In a stock pot, add olive oil and brown chicken fillet pieces (no need to cook through; just for colour and to lock in flavour).

Remove chicken. In the same pot, add a can of drained chick peas, 1 carrot cut into bite-sized pieces (can add any root veggie you like, like celery, potato). Cook for 1 to 2 min.

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes. Cook till chick peas are softened.

Add back the chicken, a can of drained fresh corn.

Add chicken stock to until all ingredients are covered.

Bring to a boil until chicken is cooked through.

At the last minute, add a quick cooking leafy veggie (I used pea shoots. You can add spinach).

Ladle into bowl and garnish with spring onion. It fed 2 hungry adults. No need for any carbo as the chick peas are filling.

Put the beans directly into Thermomix jar, pour the water back till cover beans, cook at speed 3, varoma for another 30 mins.
Then when all soften, pulse using turbo button, add sugar n oil.
Cook for another 5 mins. Done!
