I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was perfect. The sauce was also very good, but I would have liked it to be a little bit spicier. Next time, I'll add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

This recipe was a great way to use up some fresh basil and mint from my garden. The chicken was delicious and moist, and the sauce was flavorful but not too heavy.
