Full of flavour, colour, aroma and so moist! I used turkey breast instead of chicken but otherwise I follow the recipe as written. I marinade overnight the chicken for a full aroma, bake for 30 minutes and added 1 teaspoon margarine on top. Thanks for posting!

We had mixed reviews to this from loved it to it was okay. So I'm giving it a solid 4. We didn't add the butter (they were nice and moist) and grilled them on the bbq instead of baking in the oven. The one son who just liked it crumbled on some fine feta which melted and then he liked it better.

My fiance and I made this for dinner one night. It smelled really good and spicy as it was cooking, but we found it to be rather bland when we ate it.
