I've made this a few times now and it's tasty! Having read the feedback I added garlic and celery and it adds a bit more flavour. Mushrooms sent the sauce a rather strange colour. Carrots and courgette work quite well (though of course the courgette disintegrated! Good for the vegephobes!). I pan fry the chicken thighs first and then take them out and drain some fat off and take the skin off to keep the fat a bit lower (and because I don't like the soggy chicken skin!). Oh and final comment I made it without wine too once and it was still tasty!

A good basic recipe but I think it needs some work to make it great, would definitely recommend adding garlic, onion, courgette, mushrooms and carrots, needs bulking out a fair bit. Make sure you season well as I found it to be a little bit bland, will make again but with some changes (perhaps some chilli, olives and possibly some pinto/cannellini beans etc as other people have mentioned)

I made this for my sister and brother-in-law and we devoured the lot. I added 4 whole peeled cloves of garlic at the same time as the potatoes and peppers and some peas at the end with the basil which gave it an excellent splash of colour, although trimmed green beans would also work well.

Love this dish, used chicked breasts instead of thighs and white wine vinegar instead of white wine, it gives it a lovely tangy taste, yum..

Forgot to leave a rating!

Delicious - we also added onion, chopped chilli and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika - just gave it a bit more kick and was really tasty

I added carrots and served with rice

Great midweek meal, I used boneless chicken thighs. Easy to make and full of flavour. True I would not think of a stew for a hot summer evening but this was a must!!

This is a great recipe. Always a good response from guests.

I tried this recipe using chicken breasts which i braised in the stock and then shredded into the liquid before serving. I also added garlic, chilli and lemon. It was delicious.

I love this recipe & have done it a number of times. Great one pot. I too added some onions which worked well. The basil adds an interesting taste to it.

It gets 3 stars as the basic recipe doesn't have enough flavour. I added smoked paprika, mixed dried herbs, chilli, mushrooms, garlic and onion. I used chicken drumsticks and cooked it in a slow cooker for a few hours to make it really tender. It was then a 4.5 out of 6, and a big hit with a Chinese friend who'd never eaten a stew before!

Love it!! An easy after work supper with loads of flavour.
I will try add more veg as suggested as it all counts to those 5 a day.

Tried this recipe and it was wonderful dont have to wait for summer it is a good dish for the winter!!

I loved this recipe, it had such a fresh flavour the basil really makes it special. I have cooked this a few times, great for a mid week meal as it is so quick and easy. I added courgettes which went well and used chicken breasts in large chunks. Goes well with rice too.

This made a lovely light summery dish. I added an onion and some garlic to the peppers and also cooked the dish in the oven on 150c (fan oven) for around an hour. Ten minutes before the end I added some fine green beans to bump up the veg. The chicken was lovely and tender and the sauce had reduced to a lovely rich consistency. Great one-pot and all that was needed was some crusty bread.

This was okay, fairly plain. I agree with Moira above that it could do with some olives, or something with a little 'bite'. Not sure if I'll make it again, if I do I'll add some onions and garlic.

This is a lovely light summer dish. I added a clove of garlic,some shallots and two tomatoes, peeled and chopped. I think some olives would go well. I cooked it in the oven 180c for 45 mins.I served it with some green beans and crusty bread.

This is one of my favourite chicken dishes! So easy, simple, tasty and versatile. When I first made it I was very doubtful, especially as it's done on the hob, but it was amazing and makes a really good dinner for guests with a nice glass of white. I haven't tried fiddling with the recipe as I like it as it is but might try adding garlic. Thank you Good Food!
