Not a fan of the sauce. It was a bit too tangy for my liking.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more seasoning.

This recipe was very easy to follow, and the end result was delicious. I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly. Next time, I'm going to use chicken thighs instead of breasts.

I made this recipe last night and it was so good! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were cooked through and tender in 30 minutes. The sauce was also delicious and creamy.

Amazing recipe! The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was velvety and creamy. I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I loved them in this dish.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the dish was, despite using healthier ingredients. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe has now become my go-to comfort food! The chicken turned out so tender and juicy, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I loved that by using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, the dish felt lighter yet still rich.
