This was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the hash brown crust was burnt. I don't know what went wrong.

Not bad! The chicken was a bit dry, but the hash brown crust was delicious. I think I'll try using a different chicken breast recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes in the hash brown crust and it added a nice sweetness to the dish.

OMG this was amazing! I made it for my family and they loved it. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the hash brown crust was crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again!
