    Very, Very Tasty. I only had dried parsley on hand but it was fine. I used a slow-cooker after I had browned the chicken, fried off the veggies and de-glazed the pan with the chicken stock. If making this strictly for myself, I'd add 1/2 Tsp red pepper flakes.

    Yummy, quick and healthy. I will make it again. Perfect for a Sunday evening. Wouldn't change a thing. Normally I add chilli to almost everything, but this was great without it.

    SSBN (or other slow cooks out there) - did you do half the amount of stock and add the beans up front when using your slow cooker? Also, how long did you put it on for? Thanks - bit of a slow cooker novice!

    This was too bland for our tastes, though I suppose most children would like it.

    Just fab and so healthy - have made it a few times. I think the stock you use makes a big difference to the end flavour. Tasty stock, great result; bland stock, bland result. Try the Knorr stock pots!

    I used Borlotti beans and didn't have any parsley. However, it was delicious and so easy to do. Requests for it again, which is unusual.

    Thought I should share a tip. I make this quite often, because it is so easy and very wholesome. Last time I made it I added a handful of pasta to fill it out. The starch from the pasta made the sauce almost creamy and it tasted delicious. I also replaced the celery with leek. Try it...

    This is a delicious recipe and a great one for the freezer as there's no loss of taste when defrosted. I usually make loads of this, sometimes with the addition of chilli, sometimes not. If you know you're going to be home later from work than usual, then this is a great recipe to have to hand. I would definitely recommend it.
