Sorry, but I did not like this recipe. I was very interested in the use of lemonade, but it provided a taste that was, to me, odd. This dish ended up tasting somewhat like a lemon/orange type of oriental chicken dish...too sweet! -
Found this recipe to be toooooo...sweet for our taste. I was amazedhow simple it was to prepare...and when the crazy hour before dinner arrived...I was relaxing..gotta love that! in fact if it wasn't for this recipe I wouldn't have pulled my CrockPot out of storage! I will be looking for many more CrockPot suppers! -
Well I just loved this dish. The chicken was infused with a terrific lemon flavour and it could not have been easier to make. The guest I served it to ate the chicken and used up the sauce over their rice. I think this is a great dish. Thanks for posting it Tish. -
Been using this recipe for 15 years. Different brands of lemonade can alter the taste from just right, too sweet, too fake lemon, or too bland. As soon as I changed the recipe from plain Lemonade to Raspberry Lemonade, that is all people request now!<br/><br/>Not only do we serve this over plain rice, but we also put it on a hamburger bun for a completely different experience. -
I love it!!! I also found that using salsa instead of ketchup helps if you find this recipe a little too sweet. It adds a little more zest to an already great recipe!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
