Made this on a cold night, and it was the perfect warming comfort food. All of the different colors and flavors worked well together. The only change I made was to used bone-in chicken thighs, so I just baked it a little longer to compensate.

this was a success in our house made a few changes only because I didn't have all the ingredients. Substituted tomato sauce for a tin of chopped tomatoes ,turkey sausage for mild salami and only had a tinned 4bean mix and chickpeas so used them instead.Taste was terriffic and had plenty of sauce to mop up with some yummy crusty bread.
