I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed this dish. I simply omitted the chicken and added more vegetables.

This dish was good, but not great. I think I would have liked it more if the chicken had been cooked a little longer.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices.
