The photo looks great, and the recipe looks authentic (judging from other recipes online, and in cookbooks). In the photo, it looks like there's corn in the sauce, and a sprinkle of cilantro on the top. Great idea, actually. I'll try it!

Very tasty!!! The right combination between spicy and sweet. The recipe calls for chicken breasts, but I used chicken legs and it is still very good. My entire family enjoyed this supper.
