    A lovely recipe. I used a punnet of fresh plum tomatoes and a tin of plum tomatoes instead of tinned cherry tomatoes. I also added some hot paprika. My partner liked it so much he informed me we're not to eat anymore so we have some left to take to lunch tomorrow!

    Love this recipe I have made it lots of times, but this summer I have been using my own grown cherry tomatoes and using the recipe for Roasted Tomatoes & Red Onions, found on here, it gives an interesting twist to the flavour. As Chicken is expensive here in France I have also cooked it with Pork and even tried it with Duck Breasts.

    This was so good. Didn't have the cheese and used normal tomatoes but very tasty anyway. Accompanied by the recommended potatoes it was superb.

    I made this for friends last night and we all loved it. My son picked out the tomatoes but I will make this again. I also did the olive oil potatoes. A very stress free supper to make a little in advance. It will become a firm favorite.

    Quick & easy but a bit too creamy so next time will use for low fat creme fraiche instead... Also added a splash of white wine for more flavour.... Better served with rice or pasta

    Yum. I used tin chopped tomatoes with basil in as found cherry tomatoes expensive. I also used chicken legs instead with the addition of green peppers. It was really yummy and easy to cook. Served with garlic bread.
