I made this working through my BBC good food healthy eats book - it was okay but it wasn't amazing. The rice absorbed the flavours really well but nothing else did. Won't be making again unfortunately! :(

Made this for my dinner tonight, it smelled really nice and I was looking forward to it. However it had no taste at all, really bland, the chicken was dry and the beans went a bit soggy. I had to throw it away :-(

I tried it with potatoes, couldn't get the cauliflower, and it was very good.. I used lime instead of lemon and it was great, I even added a little of the lime juice to the marinade of the chiken

I always omit the cauliflower and swap it for broccoli, really nice!
