  Dont bother with Chineese takeaways. This is healthier and much tastier! Really quick and easy. Used same recipe for 2 but with less watercress and cashews (100g watercress and 50g cashews) Served on top of fresh egg noodles. loved it!

  Really nice - my husband wasn't looking forward to a week of healthy meals but has changed his mind after this! Easy, tasty and healthy - what's not to like!

  Had this for supper last night and it was delicious! The flavours were lovely and the cashews were definitely the stars of the show, giving a lovely crunchy texture. Made it exactly as the recipe except for the watercress which I couldn't get so used rocket leaves and it worked a treat. Served it with basmati rice - gorgeous! I'll definitely be making this again and again.

  This is a lovely meal and a regular in our house. I use spinach instead of watercress but just as nice

  Will definitely be trying this :) question on serving size - anyone made it for 2? It seems that 2 chicken breasts wouldn't be enough for 4?

  Lovely! definitely worth making the sauce properly as it was really nice and it was more filling then we expected. We used chicken thigh fillets which are a bit cheaper and still worked well. We will certainly be making it again.

  Quick and very tasty. Changed the ingredients a little to fit with what was in the store cupboard - used char siu sauce, carrots, half the watercress. Served with brown rice. Will make this again - with the right sauce!

  The only reason I tried this recipe was I had a big bag of watercress that needed to be used up, so I searched for recipes using it, what a lucky find, 25 minutes from start of prep to the table and a tasty filling meal, full of lovely textures, who needs a takeaway when you can whip something like this up in minutes!! Will definitely do again and again!!
