I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned tomatoes. Next time, I'll try using fresh tomatoes and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I decided to try this recipe anyway and I'm so glad I did! The tomatoes added a really nice tangy flavor to the dish without being overpowering. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy type of olives. Next time, I'll use a milder type of olives and see if that makes a difference.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
