My DH really enjoyed this! I didn't try it because I ended up with a migraine :-( and there was none left. I used boneless skiless thighs and used dried dill. I trust his taste buds and next time I will get some! -
I love this recipe! I pound the chicken breasts flat before cooking. The sauce is great over brown rice. Makes a very nice company or casual meal. Even my picky teenager loves it. -
my family is very picky about lemon chicken, they often find the lemon flavor too overbearing, but they all agreed that they loved this. it sort of reminded me of avgolemono soup, with the egg/lemon mixture and the sauce was lovely. i used chicken breasts and cooked it in the water for only a few minutes for the water to boil, this was a quick week night dinner. -
this was great,i used chicken legs and thighs thanks im always looking for new chicken recipes for my family -
It was okay. I wasn't crazy about it. I used chicken breasts and they seemed a bit dry. It was also bland except for the addition of dill

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
