  I tried this recipe for Mothers Day. I doubled up on the ingredients, but only used 450 mls of white wine, as my sister and her family were also joining us. The resulting dish tasted bland and had far too much liquid.

  was a little dubious on this dish myself but absolutely loved it, will definitely be making it again. Didn't find it too watery though may have been because i didn't use any wine and simmered it for longer than it said by mistake.

  Very simple and healthy and now a staple mid-week menu meal for me - I did end up with too much liquid in the recipe though?

  I thought this dish was delicious. However I too ended up with too much liquid and so simmered uncovered for a little longer to evaporate it off.

  This was really easy to make and so tasty. My 17 month old daughter also had it with rice for her dinner and loved every mouthful - I've not seen anything go down so fast!

  Easy to make and really tasty, based on the comments I simmered it uncovered for 30 mins so there wasn't too much liquid. My two children loved it!!

  I thought this dish was lovely, though I also had too much liquid, so simmered for longer. next time I think I will use chicken breasts as my family didn't rate the chicken thighs.

  Based on the comments on here, I simmered for 30+ mins uncovered until I was happy with the consistancy, additionally, I added some pancetta, mushrooms and dwarf beans (15 mins from the end) which made it more of a complete meal. Will def do again....really tasty!

  Really disappointed with this receipe. Too much liquid, really nothing fancy - I could have achieved the same dinner using a chicken tonight jar. Really disappointing!

  Used chicken breasts which were really nice, BUT I forgot to double the recipe for 4 of us. So it was really really tasty but not enough of it! Also if I made it again I would add some more colourful veg to jazz it up a bit.

  I wonder if the amounts of liquid are wrong? I made this for 4 people but used far lass wine and water than it said - I also put a little bit of soured cream in and a tiny bit of cornflour to thicken it. It was very tasty!

  I followed everyone's tips and added pancetta and mushrooms, and cooked it uncovered for half an hour, adding sugar snap peas at the end. By accident I added the beans at the start so maybe this helped thicken the sauce, either way the result was gorgeous! Will definitely be having again, and so easy to do. Thanks for the tips!

  I added a teaspoon of vegetable stock powder and managetout and baby sweetcorn, both added a little something to the recipe.
