  Basic recipe concept great but needs more seasoning than is included in the recipe (I added a chicken stock cube and some ground pepper). I also added a squeeze of lemon juice which brought the dish alive.

  Great recipe as long as you use chicken stock and add seasoning, otherwise it's a bit bland.

  Very simple, quick and delicious - would definitely make again. I also added some stock and seasoning, just helped to bring out the flavour. I was cooking for someone gluten intolerant and vegetarian so made one "normal" dish with the chicken and one with quorn, fake bacon and gluten free flour and cooked them side by side. The veggie option was just as nice though more stock should be added as quorn is very absorbent. I sauteed some potatoes and steamed some carrots, white cabbage and green beans to accompany the main dish along with a nice Riesling.

  well i used chicken breast instead and then I put in 200ml of cider and made up the rest with hot chicken stock. I also used whole grain mustard. next time may add chopped apples and mushrooms, and add more liquid to the sauce. Served with potatoes and brussel sprouts. Very yummy, we lapped it up :)

  Absolutely gorgeous! I left mine in for about 2.5 hours and the chicken came out meltingly soft and the sauce was really rich and delicious. I also served mine with colcannon (from a recipe from BBC goodfood) which really complimented it well. Obviously I left the bacon out of the colcannon as there is already bacon in this recipe! Definitely try it, it's easy and very tasty.

  This was so bland, even with added stock and seasoning. Also, the chicken could do with being cooked for a lot longer so the meant will be more tender
