  Really easy to make and tastes fantastic. When you bring it to the table in the tray it looks like you've put a lot more effort into it than you have and guests will be very impressed.

  Quick and tasty recipe, really easy to make although I would say that it is def more mid-week meal rather than for dinner parties. Have done something similar which includes sprinkling some parmesan on top of the pesto and grilling for an extra couple of mins which is also nice.

  Did this last night and it was my first attempt at cooking only with the grill (I'm a big fan of pans usually). I thought 15mins to cook the chicken would not be enough, but it went all really well and it was so easy - only thing, the chicken didn't turn a nice cripsy brown like in the picture, and I have therefore covered it with pesto to disguise the look! the cherry tomatoes were perfect, fully cooked but not burning hot. Served with creamed spinach and a sliced avocado. Went down a treat!

  Nice, easy, midweek recipe. I cooked in the oven and finished under the grill. Served with garlic and rosemary potatoes.

  Yes, a very easy recipe to cook and it tastes great. I served it up with crunchy/spicy new potatoes with both Mediterranean and tangy lemon cous cous. Went down a treat......

  This dish was tasty, cheap and so easy to make. However, I didn�t think it looked particularly filling so I served it with creamy mashed potato which seemed to do the trick.

  Something so simple could be sooo good! Don't skimp on the tomatoes, I needed a shedload. Possibly because the chicken breasts I bought were huge. Ohh, Momma!!! I served with crushed olive new potatoes. Variation: Used one commentator's suggestion, added garlic: Those garlic single cloves. Nip the lid off, same for the base. Peel, of course. Plonk 'em in the pan, and drizzle the olive oil over as the chicken. Same length of time. Like eating candy. Also, added a large pack of frozen spinach, which as we all know, turns out to be a small pack when cooked. Can't see how mushrooms would work with this. (Like Jamie Oliver's idea of roasting beet and carrots with this. It really needs sweet veg). Q. Anyone tried this with red pesto? -Andy

  Really simple and quick to make but lovely flavours. Impressed the in-laws with this tasty supper! I use baby plum tomatoes with the stalks still on which make it look more rustic and serve with brown rice or cous cous to soak up the juices.
