Spanish chicken pie

Roasted peppers, olives and paprika give this bake tons of flavour. It's a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken too

    Okay, I just made this from the recipe on the Good Food magazine. It's not the prettiest of dishes to look at - specially after you scoop it out onto the plate, but it is very tasty and satisfying. Definitely comfort food. The Karyatis peppers were a revelation. Also, I used half smoked paprika and half normal, and I threw in a few quartered mushrooms. I assembled it earlier this afternoon and then cooked it (for 30 mins at Gas 5) as 15 minutes wouldnt have been enough from a cold start. I'll definitely be making this one again.

    Nice enough taste but turned out very soggy and not very appealling to look at. Maybe I got something wrong but won't try again.

    Excellent dish, didn't look that bad when we got it on the plates, just have to be careful and use a spatula. The combination of ingredients was just right, definitely will do this again.

    I served it with mash on the side rather than on top and added some diced chorizo which complemented the other flavours well.

    I roasted my own peppers and added a courgette as well, I made sure the tomatoes were cooked for 15mins otherwise they taste 'raw' and I have to say the result was very tasty.

    A lovely family meal - we added chorizo and left out the olives but it went down a treat!

    I too added some chorizo which added a nice flavour but we weren't keen on the sloppy texture of the dish so won't be doing it again.

    This recipe is soooo tasty - chorizo is a great addition if you have it but it's delicious without it. A brilliant meal to prepare in advance so all you have to do is chuck it in the oven when needed.
