This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The coconut milk added a creamy richness to the dish, and the spices were perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again and again!

This dish was not good. The chicken was dry and the rice was undercooked. The coconut milk didn't add much flavor, and the spices were not very noticeable. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Not bad, but not great either. The chicken was a bit tough and the rice was a bit mushy. The coconut milk added a nice flavor, but the spices were a bit overpowering. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
