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.

    Just made this again but topped it this time with some filo pastry that needed using up and I have to say I think it is even tastier this way!

    I thought this was really nice. Made it for an after work dinner and both me and my partner enjoyed it. I made double of the filling and have put it in the freezer for another day. I added cheese on top of the potato before putting it in the oven and i cook the tomatoes out for about 15 mins. I also put it in individual dishes so presentation wasn't an issue. over all its really worth trying :)

    I made the tuna version of this and to be honest wasn't that impressed. I added more paprika then suggested yet I still thought it was really bland. I also didn't think the roasted peppers added anything to this dish that normal peppers would have. Everyone else who has rated this tried the chicken version, and maybe that is much nicer. But to be honest I don't think I'll be bothering trying it myself. Shame! :(

    It needed fine tuning but has now become one of our favourite midweek dinners. I always add loads more smoked paprika, some chorizo, chicken stock cube and white wine to bring it more to life. You have to reduce it down a little before baking, otherwise the end result will be too "slushy".

    One of the best dishes I've made from Good Food. However I would suggest only using one can of tomatoes for a dish for 4 and stiring some grated parmesan into the mash.

    I was wondering if this would go with Pasta speggetti instead of Mash.

    Made this tonight - and thought it was "ok", but not great. If making again, I would probably add some chilli, substitute mushrooms for olives and serve with rice or pasta. Thought the potatoes made it sloppy and bland.
