I didn't like this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too spicy.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce had a nice kick, but it wasn't too hot. I served it over rigatoni, and it was the perfect comfort food on a cold night.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. I served it over rigatoni, but I think it would also be great with other pasta shapes, like penne or ziti.
