Great recipe especially considering the low calories! My only substutions: all I had was marinated artichokes, so I rinsed them off and then soaked them in water for a couple of hours to draw out salt... and based on najwa's comment, I left out the seasoning salt DH LOVED the dish! THANKS so much for posting

Great recipe. I would've given it 5 stars if it wasn't too salty for our tastes. Next time I might just skip the salt altogether. Thanks!

While I do think this recipe is a great in terms of being healthy I found that the lemon and red pepper flakes were too overpowering. My sauce never thickened even after removing the cover and it took much longer than 40 minutes to cook. It's a very presentable looking dish but not one I'd make again.

So delicious! It had just the right amount of zip to it and a very nice lemon taste. It looks very pretty too. I served this with fresh steamed green beans and egg noodles and I put some of the sauce on them. Next time I will put the green beans in the pan and cook them with the chicken. I think they will taste great that way. Thanks for posting.

It's almost magical how easy this dish is to make, and yet how beautiful it looks when plated. Best of all, it tastes great without being high in calories. A great recipe, thanks for sharing!
