  A simple quick family meal, not one to impress, but certainly good for adults and young children. I made it because it sounded similar to an M&S kids meal I buy my 4 year old son, he's very fussy and always likes the M&S meal. This was perfect as it was very similar and he loved it. I used small cubed carrots and courgettes instead of peppers. It was so easy and very tasty. Highly recommend as a quick tasty and healthy family meal :-)

  My 4yr old granddaughter loved this. Chopped the veg a little bit smaller and cooked it a little big longer. You should definitely give this a try.

  This is a very tasty dish. Make sure you stir it regularly to stop the rice from catching.

  This is a really daft question but does the rice go in dry and the chicken stock cook it or do you boil the rice before mixing it in? Can't wait to try this! x

  A real family favorite, one pot quick and easy to prepare for a mid-week supper, I add more garlic than stated and sometimes some bacon lardons as a variation - even my fussy 2 year old eats it!

  Delish!!! I just made this tonight for our dinner & we are definatly impressed. I made it using left over roast chicken, so followed the recipe apart from I added cooked chicken. TBH I was a little dubeous about adding the pesto ( I added red) but after tasting it it imediatly gave the dish the 'Italian' taste!! Will definatly make this dinner again - If your a fan of this also check out the Chicken & Chorizo Jambalaya http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1167651/chicken-and-chorizo-jambalaya
