This was a great recipe! I made it last night and my family loved it. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. I might try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The sauce never thickened, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This pasta dish was okay. I thought the sauce was a bit bland. I might try adding some more spices next time.
