This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was raw and the phyllo pastry was burnt.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland, and the phyllo pastry was too greasy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and the phyllo pastry was soggy. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.
