Not a fan of this dish. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the chicken was a bit greasy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a little bland for my taste. It wasn't a bad dish, but I probably won't be making it again.
