This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the sauce was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too runny.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too thick. I will not be making this recipe again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for less time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices or herbs.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.
