    This dish was so easy and quick to make, I made it for my three fussy children, and they all loved it! I served it with crusty bread and it was hit! The quantity was too much though and unsure if it can be frozen?

    I had a whole breast of a roast chicken left over so I used that. I had also cooked too many vegetables to go witht the roast so I chopped up cooked carrots, green beans and brocalli and it worked brilliantly. Very tasty served with some french bread.

    I added some fresh mint for extra zing and it worked well. Also unsure of whether it would freeze as would love to have plenty of it on standby in the freezer.

    Chose this recipe as a base but wanted a bigger meal so added a bit more chicken and stock, mushrooms, broad beans, chilli and a splash of white wine. Knockout!!! So quick, yet so tasty.

    I reckon a better quality stock cube makes all the difference with this dish. Used wholewheat spaghetti snapped into small pieces as it was all I had but thought it worked very well. Next time might include broad beans as per BL's suggestion.

    I have made this loads of times now and every time it is different, I've added grated carrots, swede, onion, rice instead of pasta and each time it is a great hit served with warm crusty bread. A brilliant way to use up leftovers.

    I'm with alicia, thought this was a little bland, really wish i hadn't put the parsley in aswell as that's then all i could taste, not sure i'd cook again.

    Not tasty at all. Really needed something else and it was very watery.

    I added bacon lardons too which I cooked at the same time as the chicken. They really added to the taste.

    Made a vegetarian version using quorn pieces and a good quality veg stock. I added fresh mint at the end, as well as using frozen minted peas. Delicious and so simple to make!

    Lovely! Made using rice instead of pasta and was enjoyed by all only complaint was that one did not like parsley on it, other than that was superb!

    For how easy this is, it's a marvel. Very quick and effortless but looks and tastes quite impressive, especially if using good quality stock. I added mushrooms and served it with warm, buttered crusty bread. Will definitely make it again.
