This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful and the sauce is creamy and delicious. I usually add a few extra vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli or carrots.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so creamy and flavorful that it made me forget all about the peas. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked through but still juicy and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a delicious meal.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the chicken was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cream and added some more spices to the chicken.
