Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    We found this a bit disappointing - too sweet from the added sugar but otherwise lacking flavour

    Sublime and very easy to put together. We found the paprika and salt gave plenty of flavour. (I must have used about a heaped tablespoon of paprika)

    I liked this and would change up a few things next time: add more cashews - they were a highlight for me. It does feel like the dish needs more seasoning, I added salt to make up for it and took Rutabaga’s suggestion for chicken thighs.

    Our family really enjoyed this, with the kids devouring their portions. It was hard to turn the chicken without ‘muddying’ the layers, so next time I plan on cooking the chicken, removing from pan, cooking veg, the layering with chicken, then the rice.

    This dish is has a delicate, sweetly fragrant flavor. It's nice, but can border on bland. Although the recipe calls for chicken breasts, I wonder if thighs would be a more flavorful option. I also like the idea of adding barberries for a little sourness.
