    I used leftover chicken and added peas and red chilli. I didn't use any stock I used more creme fresh. Really quick and tasty.

    Had fun preparing this one in the kitchen: no stress, quickly done, yummy results ... what more can one ask for from a quick evening meal during the week?

    Looks and smells wonderful, i am freezing it in preparation for the birth of my baby, i would suggest/remind cooks to buy skinless and boneless chicken thighs from the butcher, i bought my chicken with the skin and bones still on, Doh! it took me ages to remove the bones!

    Easy to prepare, definitely decent, but the result was just a bit blah. Creme fraiche can be difficult to find at the market in the States, so I had to use sour cream. I would try it again, but I think I'll probably add a bit more to the chicken/onion/corn mixture to punch it up a bit.

    Surprisingly enjoyable! Wasn't expecting it to be so tasty. Switched peas for sweetcorn, added some crushed garlic and left out the herbs in the kids version. Clean plates all round!

    I added wholegrain mustard with the creme fraiche which made it tastier and served with carrots, broccoli and peas. I also made the veggie version which wasn't so good - not much taste and quite lumpy although it did have plenty of colour.

    This was a lot tastier than I expected. Both my children liked it, but it was also tasty enough for the adults. It will definitely become a favourite.

    I used half peas, half sweetcorn and reduced fat creme fraiche. Also sprinkled a little cheese on top and popped in the oven for half an hour rather than grilling. Good family meal, enjoyed by baby, toddler and hubby.
