  Good recipe, cause I do not have to use the oven during summer time. The pine nuts i can use either the microwave or use a very hot frying pan instead.

  Great recipe - very easy and very tasty. I saved the left over saucy bits in a sealed container and it was great as a chutney with cold roast chicken.

  This was easy to cook but was disappointing as the flavours were not punchy enough for me. Husband and kids liked it but i'll not do this again.

  Quite unusual flavours. I liked it, but husband wasn't keen. The worst thing was that after eating this I got thoroughly unpleasant 'pine mouth' (google it). I shall be avoiding pine nuts in future.

  Delicious recipe. Chicken was succulent and fell off the bone. Although I had to cook for longer than specified. Dish was sweet which suited my guests and I, but may be too much for some. I would cook this again.

  Really a great dish! Took coriander instead of parsley and served it with saffron rice. We couldn't stop eating and ate the extra portion for the freezer.
