This dish was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I probably won't be making this again.
