I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it to make this dish during the week.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adjusting the amount of chili powder.
