This recipe was sooo easy to make, and extremely delicious. I added in a little pumpkin with it, which fitted in well. So easy to do especially on a weeknight when you have very little time- and also very little dishes! Will make again =)
This recipe is great. It's one dirty dish, easy to cook and tasty, and combines everything into one meal with veg. 5 mins prep and 25 mins cooking and a great meal.
This meal was delicious! I changed the recipe a little, by adding small mushrooms, an onion and white wine. The mushrooms came out very delicious and moist. Very easy to prepare and does not mess up many dishes!
This dinner cooked itself when I had overseas guests. My father had passed away the day before and my daughter was being married in two days. I was able to sit back with my guests and yet serve up a gourmet one dish meal. All who have eaten have taken away the recipe. For one of my guests I left off the bacon and it still had plenty of flavour. Give us more of this type of recipe.
O.M.G. This recipe was so easy to prepare! I substituted the bacon for prosciutto and the parsley for basil. Cooking time was probably more like 45 minutes. The chicken melted in your mouth and the tomato, capsicum etc.. created a yummy liquid an awesome flavour. Easily fed 4 adults.
