Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and the flavors were nice. However, I found the bread to be a bit too dry. Next time, I'll try using a different type of bread.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I had to tone down the amount of chili pepper next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors were still good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
