"The taste was good. I let the chicken sit in the sauce a while. I also used a red and yellow pepper instead of what's in the recipe. I give 4 stars because there were so many dishes to clean after!"

"I don't know what went wrong. The meat was not tender. I couldn't find star anise so I left that out. I substituted sweet potato, yellow potato, and carrots for the squash and Jerusalem artichokes. I think the sauce was pretty tasty. Also, I had to boil everything for a while on the stove after I took the meat out post its 3 hrs of cooking. Oh wel"

"Wow. This was a very delicious dinner. I added ribbons of good turkey deli slices to the onion/pepper mixture for some protein per my husband's request for "meat." I added whole corn to the same mixture to make sure the corn was really present. Also, I used a submersion blender for the corn mixture instead of a blender. Very delicious, will defini"

"I agree with Wendy from Idaho. This was a lot of work and while the meat was tender, the rest was quite flavorless. There was WAY too much onion - I'd put in just half an onion instead of 2 and probably add more carrots and maybe some other veggies? But to be honest, I won't be making this again.""

"I was so disappointed by this recipe! It was dry and the combination of mushrooms and macaroni made for a mushy chewy meal. It lacked any sauce and was a lot of work and wasted food. I tried to fix it with some chicken and sauce the second night but then the noodles were overdone. A pound of noodles!!! Yuck yuck yuck""

"Plenty of spice! I am glad I didn't mix in all the chicken so I can moderate how much spice I have in the leftovers. Fairly simple but used a lot of dishes. ""
