    Thought this was a good mid-week meal but had to make more sauce as my partner felt it was a little dry.

    Will try with roasted peppers. Agree with sauce comment - more required. Good weekday meal though.

    ideal for using leftover roast chicken - agree with others that need to do more sauce than in the recipe or would be too dry.

    This is really great for packed lunch, dinner and picnic food, i used it for all three. Second time I made it i used low fat creme fraiche which was still really tasty and lower in fat.
