  We had this for supper yesterday and it was decreed delicious by all the family, including son of 10 years. In fact, hubby went so far as to say it was the nicest chicken dish he'd ever had! Mind you, he would have preferred it to have been served in a huge baguette, instead of on a plate with rice salad! LOL I should say that, because neither hubby nor son will eat leg of chicken - and its virtually impossible to get chicken portions that involve breast of chicken these days - I used skinless chicken breasts but sliced them into goujons. It was still yummy!

  Very easy to make. The family enjoyed it too. Left out the coleslaw and served with mashed potatoes and carrots with peas & sweetcorn.

  Thought this was great, tasted really special. I added a couple of cloves of crushed garlic to the chicken whilst it was marinating which worked well. Once I had tipped half the lime and coriander mix over the chicken I then added a tsp of sugar before I added it to the coleslaw mix. I also think the coleslaw tastes good if you let it sit in the dressing for a while before serving. I served this with plain rice and the leftovers were good the next day too. Just watch out for the turmeric, it really stains, your fingers, tea-towels etc!

  Thought this was quite boring - the garlic tip above might have added some interest. On the plus side it is a good introduction to Indian spices for children, and feels very virtuously healthy. Served with garlic and coriander naan bread.

  I made this recipe more or less as described, only I used chicken thighs instead, and added white cabbage to the coleslaw. Everybody thought it was one of the nicest chicken meals they ever had. The kids loved it (not the salad though, they had sauteed carrots and home-made egg fried rice). I passed this recipe to my colleagues and they found it fantastic. I will next serve it as part of an easy dinner party.

  I'm surprised there aren't more fans of this recipe, I have been making this weekly since last year and it is my daughter's favourite "healthy" dinner. Experiment with the spices, I use crushed black pepper, garlic and a good garamasala. Also it really benefits from doubling the amount of lime zest and juice and a little icing sugar takes the edge off the coleslaw dressing. I serve with hot Indian chutney, yoghurt/mint/cucumber relish and naan bread.

  We had this last night and did enjoy it - I added some peanuts to the coleslaw for extra crunch and served it with mash - not necessarily in keeping with the indian flavours, but it is sooooo cold outside that we wanted some comfort food!

  Really tasty dish, couldn't get chicken quarters so just used breasts, made everything else exactly as stated. Served it with the Good Food Salmon and Coriander Dahl (minus the salmon!), plain naan and some leftover cherry tomatoes I roasted with the chicken for the last 10 mins, delicious protein boost after the gym!
