This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tequila, but this recipe was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would just use less tequila next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover roasted chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is tangy and sweet, and it really compliments the chicken.
