I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted the milk and cheese for almond milk and vegan cheese. It turned out great!

This recipe was okay, but I wasn't blown away. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
