This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. I found the sauce to be too bland and the chicken was dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add some extra veggies, like bell peppers and corn, to make it even more hearty.
