    This was really easy and really tasty. Did most of it in one pan too so saved on washing up. Try this you'll love it, my 6 year old liked it apart from the sauce, he just wiped it off!

    Good, quick and easy. I added a pinch of chilli to the tomatoe mixture and used ordinary tinned chopped tomatoes as they were less expensive than the tinned cherry tomatoes. Will be one of my week night suppers on a regular basis.

    This was fantastic & really quick & simple to make. Instead of mascarpone cheese, (My children aren't keen on creamy sauces!) I put a slice of mozzarella on each chicken piece, just before it went in the oven. I've made it a few times now, with various types of pasta, & everyone has loved it!

    I'm going to cook this with the crushed olive oil potatoes (roated slightly in the oven as per suggestions) for my Mum & Step Dad this weekend - maybe add some sliced pitted black olives to the sauce. Can't wait!

    Absolutely gorgeous! I'm on a diet so we had it with boiled potatoes, but I would recommend garlic roasties with this dish to give it a bit of crunch! Fantastic though, we added an extra clove of garlic and used dried basil but it was still fab! Would definately make again!

    Doubled up everything for the extended family. Added some wine, couldn't get tinned cherry toms so used whole tinned toms and added fresh cherry toms towards the end. Family thought it was great. Will do again.

    Great Recipe. Personally, I would reduce the amount of mascarpone as I like the tomato taste rather than the creamy taste, but it's really great.

    Chicken was tender but sauce was too thin. next time I'll forgo some of the juice in the tinned tomatoes and add some tomato puree instead.
