I'm not a fan of coconut milk, so I used heavy cream instead. It was still very good.

This dish was a great way to use up some overripe bananas. The sweetness of the bananas balanced out the savory flavors of the chicken and sauce.

Not a fan. The chicken was dry and the bananas were mushy. I think I'll stick to my regular chicken and rice recipe.

Amazing! This recipe is a keeper. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the bananas were caramelized just right. I served it with jasmine rice and it was a perfect meal.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall this dish was a hit. I'll definitely be making it again, but with less sugar in the sauce.
