    I added more carrots, extra stock and just a couple of pinches of dried tarragon as I'm not too keen on it. This dish went down well with both the kids (aged 4 and 7) plus my husband and was really easy to do.

    Have made this several times and it's always a winner. I never add the creme fraiche though and usually add a tin of butter beans to give a little more meatiness to it. This has the added advantage of stretching it further and craftily slipping more pulses into the diet.

    Wonderful, I turned it into a curry by adding one of my own home grown chillies chopped, two cloves of garlic, teaspoon of ground cumin, and table spoon of curry powder, instead of creme fraiche I used yoghurt. Delicious on its own or with plain basmati rice.

    Browned the chicken and shallots first with a clove of garlic and then added about 100ml dry white wine. Used chicken mini fillets which the kids enjoyed more. The creme fraiche (Low fat) added a real richness. Real winner all round.

    Very nice, really good chicken flavour. Quick and easy to make. We used some double cream left over from making the chocolate chesecake, even more delicious.

    I have a very fussy daughter when it comes to food! This recipe is very easy to make. I added mixed herbs instead of tarragon and a few extra carrots. Totally delicious, very tasty.

    A beautifully fresh, and clean tasting supper. What a lovely change not to have to fry a thing! I added a dollop of creme fraiche in each bowl, which provided a smoother, more fulfilling texture.

    Great, quick comfort food after a long journey and a day's rain! Substituted the tarragon for mixed herbs and left out the creme fraiche. Froze what was left to enjoy another time.
