This is a great recipe! The tartness of the lemon against the chili and cream is lovely, have made it over and over.

Used cream cheese instead of cream and added petit pois for sweetness. Finished with toasted pinenuts. Delicious

Delicious fresh testing recipe and really quick to make. Good balance of a little bite from the chilli, garlic and pepper and that freshness from the lemon and basil. The Quorn pieces have a very similar texture to chicken and absorb the flavours well.
