Apparently I did something wrong, because this was absolutely not to my liking! It tasted like vinegar and I used even more chicken...

Too tangy and acidic.

I made this for dinner last night and only 1 out of 4 people liked it. If you like the taste of vinegar you will like this. I will be sticking to my own recipe.
