  Absolutely delicious- my boyfriend says it's made him fall in love with me all over again. This will definitely be going in the recipe bank.

  Really tasty! Made this for dinner with friends on Firday. Prepared the sauce the night before so just had to pan fry the chicken and stick it in the oven before they arrived! Swapped the pancetta for some chorizo which worked well. A rich delicious sauce which went excellently with the herby orzo suggested!

  I love this recipe and have made it serval times now. I dont add the olives, I dont like them! It does not seem to make a difference to the end result of a yummy easily made meal. If I am having people round this is an excellent recipe too as you can make everything in advance and pop the oven proof dish in the fridge, then when your guest arrive pop it in the over for 1hour and 15/30 min - I add 15 to 30 min as it has been kept in the fridge.

  A very nice midweek meal 'chicken with pasta sauce'. I used skinless, boneless chichen breasts and used 1 tin of chopped toms & 1 tin of cherry toms as that was all I had. Didn't add the capers as didn't think rest of family would like it, so don't know if that would make much difference to the taste. Loved the olives in it, but my kids didn't. Would definately make it again as it was very easy

  Love this recipe it's so easy to make and tastes great with roast potato slices and some crusty bread. (don't forgot a good glass of red wine). I put mine in my tagine and the chicken comes out lovely and moist. It's a regular in my house.
