This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the salsa was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out as juicy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try it again with less chili powder next time.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the avocado-coriander-red onion salsa was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
