     Excellent! I did add more lemon juice and used fresh basil from my garden and dried paraley (reversed what was called for), but it came out great! Since it is just hbby and I I froze the extra two servings for another night. - 7/11/11

     As a person still learning to cook boneless chicken breasts, this recipe is a great help! Very pretty, too. I wanted a more lemony flavor, though and perhaps a different way of cooking to keep breasts tender (but may be my lack of experience?) - 6/12/11

     This is a great recipe. I added a few more spices like thyme, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then I broiled the chicken in a cast iron skillet. It was delicious! I chopped up the leftover chicken to put in a salad tomorrow. This was yummy. - 1/2/11

     A nice change for chicken. Not overwhelming in lemon. - 9/22/10

     It was pretty good! Next time I think I may rub the chicken breasts with this the day before I cook, to let the taste sink all the way through then brush with lemon juice while cooking. We also used the Foreman and it worked like a charm! - 1/24/10
