Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was tender and the sauce was creamy and cheesy, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less jalapeños.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but it didn't affect the taste too much. The chicken was still tender and juicy, and the flavor was great.
