  Wonderful flavoured quick dish. I left out the lemon zest just juice and cinnamon stick. I think I will add garlic as I think it goes well with this dish.

  Im on the fence with this one. It was definitely quick and easy to make which makes it perfect for a midweek meal but im not sold on the flavour. It was probably a little bland for me and my husband wasnt overly keen on the flavour and content so wont be making again in a hurry. Sorry!

  Great high protein and filling midweek food. I made it without the lemon, cooked with a good pinch of chilli flakes, then served with the Harissa Couscous (on this site) sprinkled all over with coriander leaves. Recommended.

  Really nice recipe - I added some chilli powder and paprika. Left out the chicken and added kidney beans and butter beans - makes a lovely vegetarian dish!

  Okay, having read the many comments on lack of flavour, and the things that people added, I decided to use this recipe as a base and use what I had available. While the onion was softening (which always takes much longer than quoted), I marinated the chicken in the dry spices - and used more spice than the recipe quotes and also added some chilli. I added garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and some chopped piquant peppers, and also added some rice. And instead of spinach, which I don't like, I added some cavolo nero, which worked out brilliantly. Result? Delicious! Fresh, lemony, one-pot goodness for a Wednesday evening. You have to love the comments sections on these recipes - they really are useful I find.

  LOVE this recipe. Easy to make, tastes delicious (love the tangy lemon) and freezes well. We cook for two only and both work full time so are crazy for recipes that gives us more than one meal from a single effort. Definite winner this one!

  Added garlic with the onion. Used a bit of crushed chilli for an extra kick. Thumbs up!

  It was so easy to prepare and very tasty - However I did add some chilly flakes, a tsp of tomato puree and a handful of chopped dried apricots, it was delicious served with couscous. Will definitely cook this again.

  Made it for dinner tonight. Very delicous, and cinnamon is just perfect. I don't have coriander powde, so left it out. Added one sliced courgette after frying the meat. We enjoyed it with Arabic flat bread.

  This was a meal that surprised me half way through... When I first started eating it I was disappointed and thought it was quite bland. But half way through I really started to enjoy it. I realised that ideally it needed to sit for a while before serving so that it could absorb all of the flavours. My boyfriend and his friend ate the leftovers the next day and they loved it and said it was full of flavour. So basically.... don't eat it straight away! Rest it for 20 minutes first. I added red peppers for extra veg and colour and served with couscous.

  This was almost more of a broth than a main meal. It was ok, but not lovely. Not something I'd care to make again.
