We loved this chicken, very tasty , the combination of onion garlic lemon and soy was quite delicious! I used boneless/skinless chicken breasts , they worked very well. I added a couple of mushrooms with red onion because i wanted to use them , they made a lovely topping for the chicken. Great flavour! Thanks for posting.

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
