I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken came out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked through and the vegetables were still slightly crispy. The sauce was delicious and flavorful.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and the vegetables were tender.
