This dish was a complete fail. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the rice was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise this dish was great. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the rice was fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was a huge hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the creamy sauce. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
