We hate chicken breats normally but this was incredible and will become a firm favourite. Everyone loved it and asked for more! Served with mixed vegetables and potatoes, filling and beautiful meal. - 4/14/11

Ended up marinating a day and a half. Was excellent. I didn't have white wine vinegar so I used white vinegar and white wine. Worked great! - 6/16/10

I followed this recipe without making any changes, and it was very good. The lemon flavor was tangy, but not overpowering. It was a nice change and I will make it again. - 5/13/10

Very tasty! I really love lemon flavor so this was good. I didn't have time to marinade it but it still turned out good. I added a little garlic powder and used a bit less lemon/peel. I'll probably be making this one again! - 6/9/09

I made it, and ate it cold in a salad the next day. So easy and delicious! You can still taste the lemon, but it is vey subtil. - 6/6/08

I cooked this as directed, then ditched the sauce and sliced the chicken up for salads. With a lemon juice/olive oil dressing, some feta and green olives, it makes a delicious dinner salad. - 6/5/08

Won't be making this again. Tried doctoring it up, but no luck. There was no juice/sauce, the onions were to crunchy and the lemon flavor was overwhelming, you couldn't taste any of the other spices. - 1/13/08

I made this for my family who typically eats anything I put in front of them and they turned their noses up. I even used less lemon juice & peel than recommended and they thought it was too lemony. - 12/7/07

Didn't like the lemon peel in it and husband though too lemony. When I made the leftovers, I strained out the lemon peel, added garlic, red caynenne pepper, oregeno and mixed with a little mashed potatoes to thicken the gravy. Served over mashed potatoes and it was really good and hubby liked it. - 10/24/07

This was very tasty and easy to make. It goes great with rice. I'll definitely make this again. You must like lemon though. - 10/13/07

It was a little too lemony for my tastes. My parents were visiting and I made it for them and they both enjoyed it over saffron rice. - 6/12/07

I added a little cornflour to make a sauce of the marinade. - 3/4/07
