Modifications: Substituted boneless skinless thighs for breasts, served this over basmati rice

Notes: This was an interesting dish. While making this dish I thought it had all the right ingredients, looked good, and smelled good. As I sat down to eat it, I was anticipating something rich, spicy, and very flavorful. Unfortunately it wasn't. It was bland and goopy. The chicken was OK but other than that, not much there. I added a generous amount of salt and pepper and that helped (looking back the recipe never calls for it, but I should have listened to my inner Jacques Pepin and Taste! Taste! Taste!) but that still wasn't quite enough. Finally reaching for the Sriracha bottle brought a little life back to it and was able to enjoy it enough to deserve a 3 star rating. Unfortunately Sara never made it that far so I'm sure it will score lower for her. I probably would not make this again as there are plenty of other tasty recipes out there on the web for the same dish. This is the first time in a long time that I pulled a recipe off a corporate site (allrecipes.com) rather than someones personsal blog page and I wonder if that had anything to do with the generic taste. I picked it because it had good reviews so I don't know. Perhaps other people put their own personal touches into it to make it better as well.

Sara’s Comments: I did not like it. Very bland, and the texture was unappealing to me as well.
