    Great simple recipe, and cheap too. I didn't bother with the creme fraiches and it was still yummy.

    Great recipe, clean plates all round. Added too much tarragon 2nd time round which overpowered the flavour and spoilt it a bit but with the correct amount this dish is delicious ;o)

    Made for dinner party with chicken breast, it was delicious, the chicken wasn't too dry, it went down a storm, everyone asked me for the recipe. Just made it again for a big family celebration and it went down very well again. Only thing I would change is I would halve the chicken stock next time so bit less sauce.

    This was good but I found it was a little bit salty because of the stock. I also added salt so definitely taste before seasoning. I also added celery, carrots, frozen peas and chirozo which went very well!

    I often make this recipe. I use smallish pieces of old potatoes when new potatoes are not available. I never use garlic as my husband hastes even the smell of garlic. I add parsley. I think the recipe will cook in my new slow cookpot when next I make the recipe.

    Very tasty dish and very easy to cook. I added some sliced carrots and used dried tarragon instead of fresh. Will cook this again.

    Delicious and very easy. Loved the idea of adding mushrooms and carrots, works really well. I substituted tarrogon for thyme, it still worked brilliantly. I also left out the potato and served it over mashed potato instead, which also worked well and helped mop up the sauce. Thank you very much for a fantastic recipe!

    Made this a few times now and everyone loves it including my three young children. I thickened up sauce before adding creme fraiche. Made double last time to freeze but not enough left for another family dinner. Very tasty and great that so simple and fast to make.
