  This is a really easy and very tasty dish - the unusual mix of flavours is surprisingly successful, with a good strong flavour. Will definitely make again - it makes a nice change from the "usual" chicken breast recipes. The only thing I did differently was by adding extra sherry and a little chicken stock as we like a decent amount of sauce/gravy. I used Croft Original as it was the only sherry I had in the cupboard...! Incidentally, for the leftovers (I'd had slightly more chicken to use than the recipe said, so had increased quantities proportionally) when cold I roughly chopped everything (i.e. the chicken, onions, bit of sauce and horseradish breadcrumbs) altogether by means of a very quick whiz in the food processor, placed the mixture into an individual pie dish and topped with parmesan pastry to make a pie - which my husband said was also delicious.

  Delicious!!!!!!!! So quick & easy. Normally chicken breast is so dry whatever you do with it but NOT this time!!! I have found it cooks for longer than the recipe says (more like 11 mins or so...) but it may not be like that for everyone.

  Easy and quite unusual flavours. I didn't have any horseradish to grate but I had a jar of creamed horseradish. I put a tablespoon in a small bowl with the oil and breadcrumbs so I could blend them together better and then spread them out on a baking sheet to toast. Very tasty not not too strongly flavoured of h/radish. Used quite a cheap sherry but you wouldn't have known. I put a lid on the pan while the chicken was cooking so I had plenty of sauce without needing to add stock. I didn't have broccoli so had it was peas. Lovely!
