  Great dish which people always enjoy, looks really good too. Potatoes are easy and delicious and would go well with other dishes. I have made this many times.

  Always, always a winner, so easy and so tasty. Perfect for any occasion and utterly delicious. I have made this so many times, I think about six or seven dinner parties.....therefore may have overdone it now !

  I had to rather edit this recipe at the last minute because I couldn't get hold of tarragon (used dill instead) and I didn't bother with the bacon. Lovely dish, but my chicken skin was most definitely not crispy at the end - it had been after frying but the steam from the liquid just made it all floppy again, which was a bit disappointing.

  Can't disagree with the high rating this recipe has got - easy to do, doesn't make too much mess (not too much to clear up after) and really is tasty. Would be happy to pay for this in a restaurant.

  Nice recipe, I used cubetti di pancetta instead of bacon and it worked really well. Served with the recommended mustard potatoes and asparagus. Bread would have been good to soak up juices but you don't need two sources of carbs - either spuds or bread, not both!

  I cooked this in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high (halved the stock/wine) it was absolutely delicious and definitely something I would cook again! Easy in the slow cooker too!

  I made this for a friends birthday dinner. I used Chicken quarters and a couple of chicken breasts as I was catering for 3 adults and 1 3 yr old. I thought I would do plenty as a casserole in the oven so I could have some for 'plate dinners' during the week! Fat chance, I ended up with 1 chicken quarter left out of 6 and no chicken breasts at all! I did the mustard crusted pots as well and only had 1 of those left and my friend even left with the recipe! It did really well in the oven but I did need to add a little cornflour to thicken the sauce at the very end.

  Made it last night for the first time and everyone loved it, even my mother who doesn't like olives! It's an impressive dish on the table which is very tasty to eat and very simple to cook. I served it with 'Mustard-crusted new potatoes' and 'Parmesan Broccoli' which were also delicious (both recipes can be found on the website).

  This dish is increadibly delicious. Had it with chunky butternut squash drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven with fennel seeds and star annis (amazing!) The best meal I've had since I cooked the Chicken breast stuffed with French goats cheese and thyme on a bed of vine rippened tomatoes and courgettes (BBC Good food guide also - try it, amazing). A fabulous Saturday night meal accompanied by a good bottle of wine. Can't wait to have again.
