    We skipped on the olives, added 4 cloves of garlic, a glass of white wine and some pumpkin to this recipe. Finally we added some watered down corn flour to thicken the sauce- served with crusty bread for a more substantial meal. Will make again!

    This is a great recipe which also ties in with my Slimming World eating plan - well balanced, tasty and healthy at the same time. Made it for my in-laws and they loved it so all the better!!

    I added carrots and skipped the olives per personal taste. The chicken was lovely and moist and tender. I really enjoyed this meal and will be making it again.

    Delicious!!! Even my boyfriend who hates olives ate most of them because he said the taste wasn't too strong. Will definitely make this again!

    I skipped the olives too and substituted diced carrots and as I didn't have a flame-proof casserole to hand, I cooked it all in a large pan on the stove top. It was delicious, my other half loved it and I have now cooked it twice using that method. A lovely, hearty, winter warming recipe.

    I seriously didn't think this would be as tasty as it actually turned out to be. Really delicious. I used french beans, carrots and courgette. Will definitely be making again.

    Very full of flavour. The thyme & chicken went really well together, but we felt the squash was rather bland, mushy and tasteless.
