    My family really enjoyed this. I hadn't used tinned cherry tomatoes before but they worked really well. I cooked roasted new potatoes in olive oil and rock salt to accompany and this seemed to work. The leftover chicken and sauce we had cold next day with pasta for lunch. Lovely...

    This tasted really uninteresting and boring to me. Couldn't get any tinned cherry toms, so used chopped toms instead.

    WOW! Initially sceptical that such simple ingredients could taste as good as all the reviews promised, I was delighted to find that this recipe really does live up to the hype. I made it for the 1st time on Saturday evening for a dinner party for 6 - everyone absolutely adored it. Delicious! I made it with the suggested rosemary&garlic roast potatoes which I cut up into small 1cm cubes before roasting and it all worked together perfectly. I wish I'd made more for leftovers the next day!

    PS. I used 100% fresh cherry toms which I cut up myself to make up the prescribed weight, and cooked them down a little longer than the recipe specifies (about 20 mins).... absolutely perfect.

    Brilliant. I prefer the Borsain than Mozzerella. Very easy and quick but also very tasty.

    Add one of the small bottles of red wine,(now available at most supermarkets,about £1.50),and try to use left over tomatoes from the garden.Tastes even better!

    The first time i tried this it went down a storm. I wouldn't bother with the extra cost of tinned cherry toms next time, just a tin of chopped ones with do just as well. I might try adding a red pepper next time too. Lovely the next day with some pasta, a good lunch to take to work.

    This was tastier than I thought it might be and the kids both ate it. I served it with new potatoes and broccoli and will make again as so easy and not too many ingrediants. I also added mushrooms to the sauce as previously suggested which was good and bulked it out a bit more. Have frozen the leftovers and look forward to seeing if that adds to the flavour next time we have it!

    Delicious and so easy! The tinned cherry tomatoes were harder to track down than expected but were well worth the effort.
