    My family and I loved this recipe. I only added 800ml of water and extra chicken as the comment below suggests and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!

  • Tried this for the second

    Tried this for the second time & mastered it. Used more chicken, which only allowed me to add about 800ml of water before I got to the max line. I then cooked it for 5 minutes longer than usual & it was absolutely AMAZING CREAMY DELUXE!! This dish is divine!!!
