This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I loved the combination of spices, and the corn and black beans added a nice sweetness and texture. This is definitely a dish that I'll be making again

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less chili powder. The chicken was also a little dry. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would make some changes to the seasoning.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more chili powder or cumin. The chicken was also a little dry. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would make some changes to the seasoning.
