I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little bland, and the sauce was a bit too tangy for my liking.

This recipe was way too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of salt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken, and it was delicious.
