  my kids love this! I leave out the tomato and lemon and serve hot with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. So quick to make when having one of those days!

  I like this recipe because it is so easy and simple. It can't be made simpler. I did'nt change any ingredients because it is as good as it is...

  This is very good, quick and easy. I used Tikka chicken fillets which added a nice flavour and topped it with some chopped parsley.

  Very nice, I also added some red pepper, raisins and sweetcorn as I had some handy and used leftover roast chicken rather than a packet.

  This was great as a quick and easy lunch or dinner. I used chicken tikka fillets rather than plain which gave the dish a great flavour

  Brilliant recipe, left the peas and changed to sweetcorn and debated about changing the tomato but the tomato really added taste. May add a few red peppers next time but so simple, easily could be stored and have as lunch the next day too!

  So quick and easy to make, i used chicken tikka in one batch and plain chicken in the other for the kids but was too bland compared to the chicken tikka, i used sunblush tomatoes too. Was delicious
