The chicken was a bit overcooked. I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The pastry shells were a bit too dry. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
