This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I can see why others might enjoy it.

I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker, but overall this was a great recipe.

I'm not a fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but the end result was worth it. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the tuna sauce was creamy and tangy.
