The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

This tart was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This was a great recipe! I made it exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was moist and tender, and the pears and gorgonzola added a nice sweetness and tanginess.

I'm not a huge fan of gorgonzola, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cheese added a subtle tanginess that really complemented the chicken and pears.
