This dish was a bit too messy to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less harissa.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was amazing. I served it with mashed potatoes, and it was a perfect comfort food meal.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. I also added some chopped vegetables, and they added a nice touch of flavor and color.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I served it over rice, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
