  I have made this twice now, very easy and very tasty. I omitted the garlic, hubby hates it so I would imagine I lost flavour but it was still excellent. Served with mini chunks of potato roasted with Rosemary and green beans.

  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?
