    Just made this dish for my mother and myself. Tasted amazing and was very easy (especially the the novice cook i am!).

    The chicken looked at the pasta and say's "you don't bother me and I won't bother you". Still tasty and easy to prepare regardless.

    Good, but felt it was a bit dry, needed some sauce

    Very tasty, quick to make and low fat. My hubby and I are on a low fat, high work out week to prepare for our summer holiday and this is a great recipe that does not compromise on taste

    I threw the tomatoes in the oven with the onion and pepper for the last five minutes, so they softened a bit and provided a little 'sauce'. Very good.
