  This was quick and easy to make, and surprisingly filling. I used dried mint as I didn't have any fresh and still tasted good.

  Delicious. Used coriander instead of mint, and creme fraiche instead of yogurt and marinaded the chicken in some chilli. Definitely cook this again.

  This was gorgeous, really fresh tasting ( I did use fresh mint) and healthy. I used basmati rice and cooked it in the afternoon, and then chilled it until I needed it which meant this recipe was really quick to prepare! I also used Tesco Piri Piri chicken fillets, which were really tasty too. Even my husband said it was delicious!!

  Lovely. Really fresh & zingy. I used fresh mint & corriander but I wouldn't buy pre-cooked rice again, what a waste of money/packaging.
