lovely easy recipe. I used lemon juice and left out the peel, (had hassles with that before with family) dinner was late, so I added extra water to the mix and popper it in the oven, and it was great. Very forgiving recipe, and a good one for starter cooks. made for Aussie swap nov 09 -
So good! I felt doubtful about the flavor combination at first, but the flavors blended beautifully. I used homemade vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock and chicken cutlets instead of the whole chicken. I put the cutlets in a loaf pan and pressed them down to cover them completely with the onions, sauce, etc.--they came out so moist and flavorful!

This was delicious ~ we loved the combination of the lemon and garlic, plus the red onion and honey. Everything melded together very well to produce a very tasty dish. I served with recipe#320209 and it was a wonderful combination. Thanks Lauralie41 for sharing! Made for ZWT5 ~ AUSTRALIA ! -
Husband liked this and kiddos didn't complain, but I didn't like the flavors. Something didn't mesh with my tastes. I think it was too sweet and the lemon was off somehow. I used an organic lemon too so the quality should have been good. Interesting concept. -
Awesome recipe Lauralie41. The flavor of this chicken dish is devine. Sweet, savory, tart and tangy. The chicken was tender and moist, perfectly cooked, with a lovely velvety sauce. I like that all the flavors complimented one another. I used frozen, boneless chicken breasts, they worked beautifully in this tasty dish. We enjoyed the chicken served with Jalapeno mashed potatoes and fried Mexican corn.for a wonderful meal. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will make again. Made for Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Australia.
