  We thought that the potatoes needed roasting for 10 minutes on their own before adding the veg to crisp up abit more. Also, we found that the chicken is much better griddled as it tends to steam if sat amongst the veg. By adding the pesto and oil mix to the veg just before serving, it gives a further lovely flavour. A tasty meal though.

  Great meal - everything goes in one dish and gets left in the oven. Simple!!! Healthy and tasty as well and great for using up any vegetables. Will definitely be making again.

  This is a lovely and very easy dish to make. The chicken is really soft and tender!

  This was really tasty, also goes well with sun dried tomato pesto for a change, also swap the potatoes for some cooked pasta shells.

  Easy enough and a good way to get plenty of veg. We used roasted red pepper pesto which worked well.

  Aubergines add lovely colour and flavour to the roasted veg.

  Agree with the comment re potatoes, maybe par boil them first. Also needs thyme or some sort of herb added, slightly bland and maybe an extra 10 mins cooking time, overall very easy.

  I left out the olives and did broccoli instead of courgette (couldn't get) and it ended up cooking an extra 15 mins, but this was fabulous!! So easy to prepare and really lovely flavours, my 3 small children aged 2,4 and 6 ate it all :)

  We enjoyed this but found it had to be cooked for longer than it says to roast the veg. Think other peppers would work well also.

  Nice and healthy but I thought it was a little bland. Maybe some thyme or something would take the blandness away? The wife enjoyed it as it was though.

  This was easy to cook and the end result was really good. Noted others comments about the potatoes and cooked them on their own for about 10 minutes before adding the other veg and chicken. Also stuffed the chicken breasts with mozzarella which was pretty good, although made it more unhealthy. Added whole garlic cloves while roasting to squeeze over the vegetables at the end before serving.

  Quite a good meal... took an extra 10/15 mins to cook and ended up being a bit bland as if it were missing something. Still overall was pretty healthy and easy to make.

  Decided to try this recipe to use up a glut of seasonal veg and having read previous comments decided to use chicken thighs (though not quite so healthy) and it turned out really well and very tasty. I dry roasted the chicken thights for twenty minutes then added the potatoes and turned them in the juices from the chicken and cooked for a further 10 minutes. Next I removed the chicken, chucked in the rest of the veg with salt and pepper, mixed it all up, put the chicken back on top with home made pesto (my daughter is allergic to nuts) 4 sprigs of thyme and 4 plump cloves of garlic which I squeezed out over the veg at the end. The addition of herbs and garlic really lifted the dish, and took a total of 1hour 10 mins to cook. Will make this dish again.
