I made this last night for the family and they loved it. I did add some capsicum. Using the thigh fillets is much better than breast as it retains the moisture and flavour better. The prep took me a while as I don't have to rush anymore. But it all came together really well and we loved it. Thanks for the recipe: its a keeper.
