  An acquired taste. My boyfriend really enjoyed this but I wasn't so keen. Worth a go if you like the look of recipe as it's a doddle to put together and good for when you come in from work.

  Perhaps a little less onion next time - otherwise I enjoyed it.

  We loved this one! I made it with rice instead of butter beans (had none handy) and the star of the meal is definitely the chicken. Came out lovely and it was my first time cooking chicken "properly". ;) Lovely! A++++ will chicken again.

  Absolutely loved this, added a few cherry tomatoes for a bit of added sweetness, but it was really tasty. The dressing really complimented the salad and kept for a couple of days in the fridge. Very simple, quick and easy to make. Will definitely have this again.
