We followed the recipe exactly.
We've never quite had chicken this bland. It was 'meh' tasting.
Didn't care for it and we like chicken and rarely come across a chicken recipe that we don't care for. Unfortunately, this one is one.
Even with spicing it up, it didn't help really.
So, we are off looking for better chicken recipes.

This was not a very good recipe. Very bland, had no taste. Added hot sauce to each time we ate it to give some sort of taste to it.

I made a double batch for Halloween dinner. Typically I make Pumpkin Chili with Chicken (My Recipes, Oct 2013) using butternut squash and most agreed, this one wasn't quite as good. Some people really enjoyed it. But I felt the flavors were a bit bland. I'm glad I tried it though.
