  I struggle to make chicken dishes that my 3 young children will eat (aged 4,2,1) yet are tasty enough for my husband to eat. They all loved this and I will definitely make again, I omitted the chickpeas.

  Just perfect for the first long, rainy autumn evening of the year. Although they suggest rice with this I think jacket potatoes and some curly kale would be just perfect! Might up the smoked paprika next time, but that's only because I really love it. It's a great dish to put on and let bubble while you do other things, perfect for a mid-week family meal which doesn't bust the budget but provides loads of roughage, protein and full tummies.

  Delicious. Added extra paprika and cumin. Lots of sauce - consider reducing amount of water

  I used less liquid put a lid on and popped it in the oven, sauce still thickens and reduces steam in the kitchen and frees up space on the hob. Good if going with AnnaG`s suggestion of baked potatoes when oven is in use anyway. Those cold dark afternoons are not so bad with a lovely meal like this to look forward to.

  Made this last night for the first time, it was very tasty but as I made it for myself and husband we felt that it needed a lot more spices. Will make again and experiment, made it with diced turkey breast.

  Just made this for my family (husband, 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter) and it was an absolute hit all round!!! Followed the recipe apart from using haricot beans and chicken breasts rather than thighs... Can't recommend this enough... I also served with jacket potatoes and sautéed cabbage after the advice of previous users and agree it definitely works well!

  A little bland but the little man (3yrs) liked it. I've added salt and pepper and a little Worcester sauce into what is left, maybe grated cheese will help too. We'll see tomorrow night.
