Amy - It was the best meal I've had for as long as I can remember. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Words can't describe how delicious this was. I served it with couscous.

Dashing Den - This gets 2 thumbs up from me. It was really delicious, the flavours really worked together.
Made again and added one carrot, one stick of celery and half a small zucchini to veg it up a bit. I add them with the onion at the beginning. I have frozen the leftovers and think when I have it again I might serve it over Quinoa.

That looks very nice farfallina - is it really sweet?

[farfallina]

Thanks judy 

Well.. apple and pear surely enhance the taste but the dish altogether is not that sweet in my opinion
This would probably depend on also how sweet your fruits are

Oh my goodness! 
You must have really liked it a lot Amy!
Thank you for your wonderful words. 
I really am happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much.
What surprises me that it doesn't even include any chocolate!
You know, we usually tend to make such enthusiastic comments when there is some chocolate involved!

Always nice to see a recipe bumped that's a great one and a different one to try. Sounds like a great idea instead of an apricot (as far as chicken and fruit).

Can't wait to try. Added to my to try list.

LOL
In my opinion, this dish is fully deserving of such enthusiastic comments farfallina. Thank you so much again

I really hope everyone who tries this recipe loves it as much as I do!!

It was a great idea of Hally's to go through the Main Dishes thread and pick out some un-reviewed recipes to try. I might never have spotted this one otherwise!

[Delightful Den]
