This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The basil adds a unique and delicious flavor to the dish. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. I served it with rice and roast

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a healthier alternative to takeout. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and delicious. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a hit!

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly but the chicken turned out dry and overcooked.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too sweet.
