I didn't have fresh lemons so I omitted the peel, but it was tasty without it. It was so easy to prepare. My young children thought it was too tangy but the adults liked it. Sometimes chicken can look really white and bland but with paprika on top, it gave the chicken a nice color and appearance. - 7/17/08

I do almost exactly the same thing, except that I will fry the chicken in a pan instead of baking. You don't need any add'l oils; just use a good non-stick pan. As the chicken cooks on each side, take it out, slice it thin, then put it back in to finish cooking. This makes a great 10-minute meal. - 5/29/09

I browned the chicken first to give it a bit of color (I was afraid it might taste boiled! probably wouldn't have. :-)) Added garlic and cut back on some of the lemon juice and used a bit more wine. reduced the sauce a bit before serving - delicious! I liked the added peel very much. Nice recipe! - 10/19/09

I thought it was tangy not really lemony. My husband loved it, but he loves lemonade. I didn't put the lemon peel in and probably more spices. I also put in some baby carrots, though I don't think they added anything and they didn't cook in the hour. I made this recipe because I had lemons. - 6/17/09

Loved the easy ADVANCE prep- setting it up to marinate in the morning and then popping it in the oven at the end of the day! Enjoyed by everyone. Flavorful and no-one missed that it wasn't fatty. A bit on the acidy side- next time i might omit the white wine vinegar and use white wine instead. - 11/14/09
