    The taste was there, but the chicken was a little dry. I might try adding more yogurt to the marinade next time.

    Very tasty! I used Greek yogurt for the marinade, which gave it a nice tang. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would make it again.

    Tina Baker4

    Great flavor! I added a little bit of heavy cream at the end to make it even creamier. The chicken was very tender.

    Excellent! The creamy sauce and the tender chicken were a perfect combination. The spice level was just right for my family. Highly recommended.
