This was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was overcooked and the spinach sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be trying this recipe again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was dry and the spinach sauce was lacking flavor. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it didn't help much. I won't be making this recipe again.
