This was adapted from a recipe in Slimming World magazine, as I was unable to source all the ingredients locally, and determined by what I had in the larder.  This was a really sucessful recipe and I would quite happily serve it to guests as it looked great too.  The kids enjoyed the chicken and green veg, but I couldn't get them to try the roasted veggies!
