  I make this quite regularly. Minimal effort and little washing up, which is always a pleasing combination! Have extra pesto on hand at the table.

  If you are looking for a quick cheap easy tasty meal this is it!!!! I was a bit worried about it being stodgy and tasteless but I rinsed the rice first added teaspoon of chilli flakes - it was gorgeous!! Good for a mid week meal but also to feed a large group. Definately one of those receipes i will use again and again. Thanks

  HELP. It says 4 ready-made pesto. 4 what? I'm not a good enough cook to work that out for myself. How much pesto do I need?

  I agree it really is so quick and easy to make. So tasty with minimum effort. Definitely my type of cooking and a dish I've cooked a lot.

  Tasty and easy to put together for a weeknight meal. I used yellow peppers since that is what I had on hand. The recipe says 2 servings but it actually make enough for 4 so I have leftovers for a second meal.

  I absolutely love this meal. It is a quick and easy meal that gets thumbs up all around the table. I don't use the pesto but it still tastes fantastic. You'll want to have this meal again and again.

  This is a favourite of ours - I use a little extra chicken stock (400ml) so the finished dish is a little more juicy. Delicious :o)

  My boys and me just love this! Sometimes I add some other ingredients, anything goes, really! Easy, tasty, quick and hardly any washing up, what more could you want. I have a 15-month-old son and a 3-year-old son and they both loove it as well. Their dad and I just add more red pesto for ourselves and we all have seconds!

  I doubled this recipe to serve 2 adults and 3 rather large children and still had plenty left over! It was fabulous, and the only change I made was to chop the peppers and onions a bit smaller than wedges, so they weren't too big and off putting for the kids. They all loved it, and it was so easy to clear up after! Definately one to repeat!

  This is a great dish - one of my favourites. Really quick and easy to make and tastes lovely. I sometimes make it without the chicken and serve as a side dish or with a nice salad.

  Really simple and easy dish to make.All 3 of my kids loved it as well.Roasted the peppers in the oven first though(this makes them really sweet) as my son says he doesn`t like them, and he didn`t even know they were there!Will definately be making again.
