  I loved it. It was simple to make and tasted lovely. I did not change any of the ingredients. I love one-pot meals as I feel all the goodness remains together and helps the blending of tastes. Willmake it again and again.

  I adapted this slightly and cooked it in the slow cooker ... was lovely, really easy and a no fuss recipe. Added chunky carrots for a bit more colour.

  I used baby new potatoes and didn't peel them and they cooked perfectly in the time, I also added baby carrots at the same time as the potatoes. This was a really tasty and easy meal with only one pot to wash up at the end - you can't go wrong and will be doing again and again. (PS it made the veg so tasty the children ate them too!)

  I didn't add potatoes to this s I served it with roast potatoes separately. I did add a few carrots though which gave an extra bit of colour and used just a splash of wine and made up the rest of the liquid wth stock. A lovely, tasty dish that was very simple to make and kept the chicken beautifully moist.

  This was perfect for lunch in the garden with bread & salad, particularly on a summers day when you have guests but don't want the hassle of doing a "full on" roast.

  Made this instead of the usual Sunday roast. Didn't have enough potatoes or any shallots so I used an onion and a leek, plus carrots and a few celery sticks. It was so easy to make and tasted wonderful - even my two, rather conservative children, ate all of it up. Will definitely make it again.

  Incredibly nice - of of the best from this site. Also added carrots, as the colour and flavour both work. We are also making the leftovers into soup today. This will take the place of a Sunday roast many times for us now, it's just as good (yeah honestly), the sauce is beautiful and it's 10 times handier... would also suit a large dinner party. We also didn't bother using butter, just olive oil and it was still mouth-watering.

  Is it really supposed to have 1.5kg of chicken for 4 people? That seems like a lot....

  most beautiful easy way to cook chicken - almost as good as Delia's 30 garlic cloves chicken - can enjoy a few glasses of wine with guests rather then rushing round the kitchen! I did roast pots and separate gravy too but no need - gorgeous juices and even thoughthe potatoes weren't crispy, everyone preferred them to the roasties

  Just realised it means a whole chicken, rather than pieces of chicken. Boy do I feel silly! Going to try this soon, looks yummy.

  Yes, it is yummy, the chicken cooked beautifully moist and the veggies very tasty. Would leave out the potatoes next time and serve with roasties but I did add carrots as suggested. Will definitely make this again.

  This is so easy and so tasty it is now a regular dish in our house - my 20month old daughter loves it. We use stock instead of wine I tend to put in some mushrooms at the beginning and generally throw in some extra veg with the peas at the end (generally broad beans as they are my little girl's favourite) tarragon is our herb of choice - delicious!
