Not bad! The chicken was a bit dry, but the stuffing was good. I think I would try a different cooking method next time.

This dish was a bit too dry for my taste. The chicken was a little overcooked and the stuffing was a bit bland. I think I would add more liquid to the stuffing next time and maybe use a different type of chicken.
