This recipe is a fail. The sauce was watery and the chicken was dry.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make for a crowd.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes, and it was much better.

This was my first time making penne chicken, and it turned out great! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I served it with a side of roasted broccoli, and it was a hit with my family.
