¼ cup softened butter

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit more work than I anticipated, but it was totally worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again for special occasions.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts, but I'm so glad I did! The hazelnuts added a subtle nutty flavor to the chicken that was really delicious. I will definitely be making this dish again.
