The chicken was perfect! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked through evenly. The sauce was also very good, with just the right amount of heat.

This recipe was a total disaster. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought the chicken was a little too spicy, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chipotle powder if you don't like spicy food.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was also very good, but I added a little bit of extra chipotle powder to give it a bit more heat.
