This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was burnt and the potatoes were raw. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad, but not great. The chicken was a bit dry and the potatoes were undercooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

Easy and flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked quickly and evenly. The sauce was also very good, with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.

This Azorean Portuguese dish was a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing and the textures were perfect. I especially loved the crispy skin on the chicken and the tender, juicy meat inside. I will definitely be making this dish again soon. Than
