  I found this dish a little dry but this could have been because I had poaced the chicken previously (and was just trying to use it up!). Not enough 'sauce', but a novel and quick recipe.

  Very yummy indeed, I used peas, spinach and asparagus, which worked a treat. Easy to make as well.

  The chicken and asparagus were lovely and tender, but we too thought this too dry and needed more sauce. Take care, keep an eye on the breadcrumbs - we slightly burnt them and it spoilt the overall dish.

  We really enjoyed this. Taking feedback from other users I knocked up a bechamel sauce (from bbc.co.uk/food) to go over the chicken, ham and veg and incorporated cheese into the sauce and the breadcrumbs. I then baked the pie in the oven......gorgeous

  Very tasty dish. I substituted low fat spray for butter and it worked really well. Also added some grated parmesan to the breadcrumbs before spreading over the top. Much appreciated by everyone.

  We loved this! After reading the other comments, I added some chicken stock to the creme fraiche to make more of a sauce since I also used left over poached chicken and it was lovely. I also added parmesan to the breadcrumbs as suggested, and the topping was a massive hit! Made it several times now with different veg.

  Fantastic recipe. I didn't have butter so I used oil instead and it came out great. Great meal and relatively low in calories as well.

  I was disappointed with this - the whole thing just didn't 'come together' and it's because of the lack of a proper sauce. I got the recipe out of the magazine - I wish I'd read the comments first and bashed up a sauce rather than just creme fresh! I know the creme fresh keeps it super healthy and low-calorie but it just didn't give any oomf.

  Used yoghurt instead of creme fraiche (as that was what was in the house), and didn't really mind the lack of sauce! May add a touch of stock next time, but still thought it was delicious!

  I cooked this using the alternative method of using instant mash over the layer of creme fraiche and I topped it off with a generous sprinkle of parmesan and a little cracked pepper (think cottage pie topping). This has never dried out, so I guess the mash keeps the moisture in more than the breadcrumb mixture. I use bacon instead of ham, baby spinach and frozen peas (they thaw damn fast in boiling water!) yummy!
