Such a simple but tasty dish - I added more veg but otherwise, cooked it as per the recipe. My family really liked it. I made some home-made flatbreads to go with it. I'm going to substitute the chicken for sweet potatoes and make it a veggie dish next time. This will definitely be a regular on the menu here.
