I came across this recipe yesterday morning, when I was looking for new idea's for tea time for me, my husband and our son. We all very much enjoyed it, and I served it with cous cous and salad with a salad dressing. Was lovely! - 01 Oct 2013
We had friends coming for a meal, thought I,d try this, it was delicious. Put it in the oven when they arrived, it took 45 mins to cook, maybe they were big chicken breasts. Lovely and moist, served with new potatoes and green beans. Next time might stuff with Stilton. It looked impressive and tasted great. - 29 Jun 2014
