I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out nothing like the picture. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery.

This dish was okay, but I've had better. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the orzo was mushy. The sauce was also very bland.
