  1. Cooked this yesterday, was lovely even the oh commented how nice it was and my two and a half year old cleaned her dish too so happy all round. Thanks again. Going to try the sun dried tomato and chicken with penne on Monday but just looked at your meatball dish which looks delicious x

  2. It’s good to hear that all your family enjoyed this dish Lisa.Hope you all enjoy the chicken pasta dish too and the meatball one which is my new favourite.I’m finding it hard to plan for the week ahead as I want to eat them all again!Hope you have a great week!Helen xxx

  3. Lovely dish! And to shave off a few points I make it with blitzed oats instead of flour. I do mine in small batches in the electric coffee grinder and it works just like cornflour. Happy days x

  4. Thanks Bridie – and great advice too;I’d never thought of using a coffee grinder.Hope you’ve had a lovely day, Helen xxx

  5. Hi Donna and thank you!Yes, it should be fine to freeze, as long as the chicken is heated through and piping hot when re-heated.Enjoy!Helen xxx

    Use a food processor to grind the oats down to use as Cornflour it works really well with the blade.
