  This recipe needs a bit of re-writing to make it far clearer for children and the more novice chefs, as I made this using the recipe and some guess work and I ended up with raw chicken still after 50 minutes of cooking. As this recipe is aimed at children, this could potentially be a problem. I foud that SHALLOW oven proof dish should be used as you'll have more chance of the chicken cooking properly. Also, it would probably be beneficial if the chicken was cooked in a frying pan for a couple of minutes just to make sure it will be fully cooked once in the oven. Finally, I cooked it at the temperature of 200c (non fan oven). Otherwise, it tasted alright. I added tarrogan to the sauce just to give it more flavour which really made a difference.

  Great recipe... Cooked this with my 3 year old son (assisted chopping and peeling). Adjusted the recipe slightly added in mushrooms, onions and thyme. Cooked at 180c (fan) for 45 minutes.

  I loved this and so did my family but I found grating the carrots and potatoes first Then cooking. Along with the chicken made things go a lot faster I also put grated chesse to top for a crunchy topping and added mushrooms my daughter who is 22 months old couldn't get enough off it and even tried nicking mine

  The kids loved to join in helping to make it and both ate it up (2&4 year old) but I did add some of my own ingredients to make it more tasty and more healthy; garlic, broccoli, peppers and onions.
