Thermomix Cajun Chicken Recipe w Avocado Sauce

Thermomix Cajun chicken dinner is a delicious weeknight meal that's on the table in just over 30 minutes. The spicy Cajun chicken seasoning is a perfect match for the creamy avocado sauce. 

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

This dish uses layered cooking, which means you use all the accessories that came with your Thermomix to take advantage of the steam and cooking layers of the Thermomix. This allows you to feed a lot more people, and once dinner is on, there is nothing to do but put your feet up. It doesn't get much easier than that!

Serving Suggestions Cajun Chicken Dinner

In some of the photo's I served the Cajun chicken with a homemade lentil and couscous salad. You could make a salad if you were feeding extra people and needed to stretch the meal a little further. You could choose one of the other salads I have on the site, such as my Apple Slaw, Classic Thermomix Coleslaw, or even white rice. I love it with the creamy sweet potato mash you will find in this recipe below. If you're short on time, you could use a commercially prepared salad, but the sweet potato mash really doesn't take any longer. You could also just go regular Thermomix Mashed Potato or a Low-Carb Cauliflower Mash

Avocado Cream Sauce

The creamy avocado sauce makes this recipe really special. The recipe is my dad's. He always serves this sauce with fish. I've converted the recipe for the Thermomix, which means you don't need to be concerned about the cream boiling over as it reduces or the avocado getting bitter from being overheated in the saucepan.

Don’t forget to pin this easy meal idea for later and take a look at the lentil and Couscous salad pictured above. It's another super easy, super delicious recipe.
