    This was scrummy i made a slightly healthier version as i'm trying to lose a few pounds, I used skinless chicken breast and par cooked them on a griddle pan and used a low fat mozarella. The family wowed about it and they didn't realize they were eating my diet food !!!!

    Gorgeous!! My Mum made it when we spent the weekend with her recently, and served it with rice, which was delicious :0) Such a delicious, incredibly easy recipe - I'll certainly be making it in the next couple of weeks, and I have a toddler and a newborn (just to reinforce how easy it must be, lol!).

    I would love to try this recipe - it sounds great, but I am unable to get tins of Cherry tomatoes. Does anyone know who stocks them? Would chopped tomatoes be O.K?

    Pearls Grub - I think cherry toms are much tastier and more tomatoey in this recipe, I'm sure my Mum got hers from Waitrose. HTH.

    Simple and very tasty. I usually do this with boiled new potatoes and green beans but will try it with rice next time. If you are having trouble finding tins of cherry tomatoes try Sainsburys, that's where I get mine from.
