  Loved this. Made it for my mum recently and used just chicken thighs. It doesn't look much like the picture though, the photo was obviously taken with raw red onion and before any creme fraiche was added!

  We followed this recipe as is and it was delicious. We were fighting over the pan scrapings! I'll be making this again and trying to save some for lunches because I think it'll taste great cold too. Thanks for another great recipe.

  This is a great winter warmer dish, simply delicious! We used red split lentils instead of the puy lentils and lime instead of lemon which gave it a fresh tangy favour.

  Easy to make and good comfort food, but not as nice as I was hoping. Would make some flavour adjustments before making again.

  Potentially a delicious dinner but my lentils stuck to the bottom of pan so had an extra slightly burnt flavour!

  I made this for 2 people and halved all the measurements except I forgot to halve the lemon zest & juice amounts. Unfortunately this made the lentils really lemony, which I didn't mind too much as I love citrus things, but my boyfriend found it a bit much. We both enjoyed it nonetheless and he's asked me to make it again as he would love to try it with the right amount of lemon next time. My mistake aside, this dish was really warming, hearty and pretty healthy too. Very flavoursome and filling. Definitely recommended!

  A tasty dish with a lovely lemon flavour. Not the prettiest looking dish - nothing like the pic once the creme fraiche has been mixed in - but we will be repeating nonetheless!

  This was lovely. Not pretty but tasted great and was protein packed. I baked the chicken separately and served with broccoli.

  Unfortunately this dish looked nothing like the picture - it came out a horrible grey colour and looked very unappetising. It tasted OK thanks to the addition of mustard and lemon at the end but I was glad I hadn't made it for guests.

  Made this twice - once used red lentils which didn't work so well as the green as they turn mushy. Doesn't look great as others have said but tastes lovely.

  Only rated 4-stars as the finished dish, although it tasted great, doesn't look anywhere near as appealing as the photo! As other reviewers have said, it does end up a sludgy-grey colour but I will cook it again but will serve it with some steamed carrots and sprinkle over some chopped parsley just before serving.
