    It is still a bit chilly here despite the advent of Spring, so this comfort style meal seemed like it would fit the bill for a Sunday family dinner. It isn't complicated to make but does require a bit of prep. Overall we really liked this but it was fiddly to plate. Putting puff pastry overtop of a hot pot means it droops down immediately and covers the chicken. Unlike the photo in the book where the crust is lovely and flat ours essentially conformed to the shape of the bird and mean that some if it crisped on top but remained soggy on the bottom. That said, the combination of the light vegetable and chicken broth that was just slightly thickened and the lovely chicken with the herbs and aioli is just delicious. The puff pastry crust was ugly, but nonetheless tasty. Despite the lovely flavour I'm not sure I'd repeat this specific recipe. I'd be tempted to try a more classic version and serve with bread on the side. That said, there is no denying this tasted lovely.

    This is delicious. Not at all difficult, just needs some time to marinate. It'd be good with or without the Aioli, so if you are short of time you may want to skip the Aioli.
