The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not usually a fan of creamy sauces, but this one was exceptional. It was light and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the chicken. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the vegetables were roasted to perfection.
