Just to enhance riwnodennyk's answer, if your ViewHolder is a ViewGroup instead of a direct View object like TextView, then you can add hasDescendant matcher to match the TextView object in the ViewGroup. Example:

onView(withId(R.id.recycler_view))
    .check(matches(atPosition(0, hasDescendant(withText("First Element")))));
