Overall, this was a great recipe. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. The dill sauce was a bit too strong for my taste, but that's just a matter of personal preference.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken and asparagus turned out great. The dill sauce was a little too sour for my taste, but I'm sure I could adjust the recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I loved this recipe! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the dill sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, even without the asparagus.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the asparagus was overcooked. The dill sauce was bland.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the asparagus was delicious. I think I would try marinating the chicken next time.
