I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chicken was not very flavorful, and the vegetables were a bit overcooked. The sauce was also very thin and watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that, it was very good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be less sweet.
