Winner, winner :: Chicken dinner

This was a huge winner at our dinner table last night.  Inspired by the Chinese-Style Stir-Fry and and Asian-Style Fish Fillets in the Everyday cookbook.

With the garlic and ginger, the flavours are beautiful  and this is a super tasty dish.  What's more, its a nice and easy recipe that requires about ten minutes in the kitchen and then fifteen minutes to cook.  It's times like that I really love my Thermomix

And notice the lovely oval Thermoserver.  That's this months promotion: FREE for all Thermomix purchased in July or $30 if you host a demonstration in July.  Its super stylish.
