"At the end of most weeks I try to finish off the bits and pieces of veggies etc., leftover in the fridge/freezer. This was one of the resulting recipes. Turned out very tasty with fresh summer veggies and one lonely chicken breast. Use whatever veggies and other bits you have left and dress it up with simple biscuits or add herbs and your favourite cheese in the biscuits. This recipe can be doubled or more."
