This stew was a complete disaster. The chicken was tough, the quinoa was undercooked, and the sauce was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this stew to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

This stew was a little too spicy for me, but I still liked it. I would recommend using less ginger next time.

I made this stew with chicken thighs instead of breasts, and it turned out great. The thighs were so tender and juicy.
