Nagi,
A Facebook page called Homemade Recipes has posted this recipe on their page without acknowledging you. The have just copied the photo, ingredients list and instructions from your website and posted it to their Facebook page. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have used more of your recipes too.

I usually try out your recipes as they have never failed me before but I must admit when I looked at the ingredient list I was like ‘where’s the flavour?’ I mostly used this recipe as a guide to measurements in terms of ratio of rice/water and time. I added my own twist with frying up some celery and carrots with onions in a pan of oil and butter then added the rice before transferring to an oven dish and adding the liquids. After 30 mins I added the boneless thighs and noticed the rice was undercooked and the liquid had gone (despite being covered) so I added a cup of water . Another 30 mins covered WITH the chicken resulted in cooked but mushy rice and tender chicken but altogether still without much flavour. I should have added more salt or maybe an extra chicken cube with that extra cup of water. Yes this recipe has too many variables for it to be perfect for everyone (rice type, chicken bone on/off, size of dish) however one thing is for sure is that it lacked the ooomph for flavour. But thank you nevertheless for blessing us with all the many other flavourful recipes and congrats on your book! x

Yum yum yum! Kids love this one. We add bacon and mushrooms to the pan at the beginning. We use boneless chicken thighs as it’s easier for the kids. Finish off with lashing of gravy – perfect winter warmer!

Usually make Nadiya Hussain’s version of this but since I cook a Nagi recipe most nights (and just bought the book) thought I’d compare this one. Correct size dish, homemade stock, used boneless skinless thighs so followed the instructions…when I went to add the chicken the rice was undercooked but there was no liquid left. Had to keep adding time and liquid to cook the chicken through. Texture of chicken was lovely but hardly any flavour considering all the spices and the rice was tasteless. V unusual outcome for a RTE recipe 🙁
