This was pretty good. It tooke me longer than 15 minutes to cook, around 30 minutes, but my chicken breasts were thick. I will definately make it again. Next time I think I will trim the fat off the chicken because my first bite was a big peice of chicken fat and it was yucky. but the rest was great. I didn't cook the chicken in oil, I cooked it in cooking spray to cut some fat out. -
Delicious, quick and easy. I've made it numerous times and got a few others addicted to it too. I prefer it without the flour. I've substituted lime for a different taste. -
This was pretty good. My husband really liked it. I added some cornstarch to the butter in the pan so it would be a thicker sauce. I think next time I would put some honey in the sauce too so it would be a bit sweet. Probably less garlic for my taste - I prefer lemon chicken to have a light lemon taste and this definitely had just the right splash of lemon. I also cooked the chicken in the sauce for about 5 mn or so, so that it would all be nice and combined and the chicken would be nicely sauced. -
This was a great recipe. I made it for dinner and my family loved it. Thanks! -
I was surprised at how very tasty this was, especially since it really did take 15 minutes or less. I served with brown rice made with chicken broth and it was a HUGE hit!

I made this recipe but with a few slight differences. My family LOVED it. Usually if one kid loves a recipe, the other hates. If both kids love it, then my husband hates it. This was one recipe that everybody loved. When I made this, used thin sliced chicken breasts to avoid pounding them. Also, I used bread crumbs instead of flour and I left out the chicken broth. Instead of the broth, I added one can of slightly drained, sliced mushrooms. I happened to have a whole lemon the day I made this so I squeezed half of the lemon into the pan instead of using lemon juice. Then I sliced the rest of the lemon very thin and sauted it in the pan with the other ingredients before pouring everything over the sauteed chicken. This gave the dish as delicious, intense lemon flavor. I have already made this recipe a second time and this time it was for company. It looks so pretty with the thinly sliced lemon in it.

This was delicious! Perfectly tender and juicy, super quick and easy. <br/><br/>I used chicken strips instead of breasts and I doubled the sauce (which wasn't necessary) and it was delicious. I also strained the minced garlic out before pouring over the chicken because my uber picky husband doesn't like to see any garlic, only taste it. lol. <br/><br/>I will absolutely be making this again. Highly recommend!!!

Simple and delicious! I like to use olive oil instead for a slightly healthier version. Also, I used fresh squeezed lemon juice. Instead of the chicken broth, I used the seasoned water leftover from steamed carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. Tender, mouth-watering deliciousness! It did take slightly longer than 15 minutes but all in all it was very easy and not time-consuming.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
