This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I won't be making this dish again.

I tried this recipe and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. The sauce was flavorful, but I would have liked it to be a little thicker. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would make a few changes next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too watery. I think I'll stick to my old Mexican-style chicken recipe.
