I thought I reviewed this already, so sorry for the late review. :) I made this months ago. Lemon and cinnamon are both flavors I enjoy and I eat a lot of boneless/skinless chicken breasts so when I found this recipe I thought it would make a nice change/variation. I followed the recipe exactly, except I didn't have shallots so I used sweet onions. I was only cooking for 2, so I had 2 breasts but kept the rest of the ingredients the same amt. This did make my apartment smell really lovely but the flavor of this dish was so mild as to be a bit boring. My bf wasn't very impressed, either. I did atually think the flavors went really well together and the chicken was moist and tender and the sauce was good, just not enough flavor. Thanks for sharing, Renea', but I prob won't make this again, but I'm going to keep it around just in case. I wonder how this migh twork if I marinated the chicken first?
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am always looking for new recipes so I am glad I found this site. I have a strange situation due to being allergic to Corn. Until recently I was also allergic to wheat so I am starting to put that back into my diet again. It takes time but I have been able to modify many recipes here in order to try them. They will turn out a little different sometimes but most of the time they are very good. There are only a few dishes that I cook more than once.
