My whole family enjoyed this meal. I turned the heat up the oven to 210C and cooked it for an hour. Tasty.

Quite tasty - more of a soup consistency. I added a little peri peri hot sauce for extra flavour (a little rule breaking ) very delicious!

Reading all comments on this dish, I will be making it but will have a play with some herbs & maybe use 3/4 of the can of tomatoes :)

I agree with Frisbar - was a bit bland and the sauce was very watery and lacked punch. May have been the brand of canned tomatoes I used perhaps. Probably won't make it again.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would have. The sauce was a bit watery and lacked some punch, maybe add a few more herbs or spices next time? Also, even though I had this in the oven for almost 50 minutes, the chicken was still quite raw :( I browned it ahead of time and had the oven at the right temp, so not too sure what happened...
