This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful and light, and the vegetables added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm not a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was a little bland for my taste, but I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes

This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less salt.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the pasta was overcooked. The sauce was also very bland.
