I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time. Other than that, the dish was good.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, especially in the squash filling. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Loved this recipe! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the squash filling was delicious. I added a bit of extra garlic and paprika to the filling for some extra flavor. Definitely recommend.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used butternut squash, and it was the perfect addition to the chicken. The whole family loved it.

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this dish changed my mind! The squash filling was creamy and cheesy, and it paired perfectly with the chicken. I'll definitely be making this again.
