Meh, just another pasta dish. Not very exciting. My kids barely touched it. 2 stars for effort.
Yum! Easy to make and delish! I added some red pepper flakes for kick. Will be on my dinner rotation for sure. 5 stars!
That sounds great! I love adding spicy stuff to my meals too. Red pepper flakes are a good choice! Can’t wait to try this recipe! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Honestly, it seems too easy to be that good. Are you sure it’s not just basic? I might try it, but I got my doubts. 🤔
This recipe was amazing! The chicken was juicy and the garlic gave it such a nice flavor. Definitely a 5-star meal! Will make again!
I’m glad you loved it! The combo of garlic and chicken really makes a difference! I added some red pepper flakes for extra kick. Will definitely make it again too!
I dunno what everyone is raving about. Mine turned out kinda dry. Also, should the garlic be cooked longer? Taste was off for me.
It was okay, but I’m not sure about the broth. Seemed odd. Maybe shoulda added more cheese or something. 3 stars.
