Lemon Chicken Done My Way

"Not exactly an authentic Lemon Chicken, but I believe this is very tasty. I have also added mandarin oranges to the sauce. You may use frozen stir-fry veggies to cut some of the prep time. My sister always requests this when she visits."

  1. This took awhile to make but everyone liked it and I'll sure make it again. I added the sauce in to the vegetables and then poured it over the rice. The first time I made it I didn't use the pineapple and it was still excellent.
     
  2. I loved this, even though it was a lot of work (or seemed like it - I have a lot of little kids to deal with while preparing dinner). I loved the flavors. I am going to request that my husband make this for me for my birthday this year!
