you can mince the chicken in the Thermomix, partially freeze approx. 3 chicken breasts, cut into large pieces and mince speed 7, 8-10 seconds; I would do 200 grams at a time

You could also chop carrot, water chestnuts in the Thermomix before you start the recipe and set aside  (speed 5, 5-10 seconds).
