Lenka: Hi, so glad your kids loved this recipe. It's a hit at our house too. Although I've never hidden veggies from my kids, one always loved them, the other got used to them
Thank you so much for the great star rating. Feel free to try my other recipes, all begin with "Hunters".
Happy cooking
We and the kids loved this (2.5yrs&4.5yrs). All the veg got eaten and hidden very well, great recipe!
Very nice although I ran out of time so cooked the chicken and pasta separately (chicken cut up not minced). Then added cooked vegie sauce to chicken and poured over cooked pasta and sprinkled cheese over to serve.
Wow! Thanks Melinda, thanks heaps for the comment and great rating. The pasta isn't meant to be pre cooked, that's why the sauce is pretty runny, i like to avoid extra work on these easy dishes, but I'm glad it still worked out. That means it should work nice with fresh pasta.... And you never know, I just may do that one day.. That's what our Thermi's are for...
thanks... Means heaps to have a GL comment... Happy cooking, I've got lots more on here...
Very tasty and loved the veggies. I wasn't sure if I was meant to pre cook pasta so I did and turned out well.

Great to hear the kids love it, thanks for the great rating and comment...
Great for the kids.
So glad you liked it, once you get used to the recipe it will be a little bit quicker. It's also a really good one if you're taking a dish to a friends for dinner, plenty there.
So good mincing you're own chicken breast, makes it very lean. You may want to try my chicken rissoles (patties), Hunter Lemon Chicken & Veg Rissoles. They turn out nice & im pleased to say it did win a competition once.
thanks for your rating... Happy cooking
A family pleaser with loads of hidden veges! This was absolutely delicious and made enough for the next night as well. I didn't use chilli, onion or capsicum but put in some extra zucchini. It's the first time I have ever minced chicken and it was so much nicer than store bought mince. It did take a while and at first I was regretting making on a night after work when we're all in a rush so next time I'll probably do it on a Sunday night so I can start a bit earlier. A family winner we will definitely be putting this one on rotation.
Thanks so much for the 5
