I loved this! I substituted crushed Special K for the bread crumbs which was just as tasty and lightened the calories! I can't wait to make this for friends! - 4/6/09

Had hoped for a bit more lemon flavor, but over all it was a good dish. Will likely make it again. - 3/17/09

This is a dinner favorite in our house. I like it very lemony as I like strong flavors. I use the juice from 1 fresh medium sized lemon.....So good and tender. My husband (the cook in our relationship) finally stopped picking on my cooking after I made this! - 1/16/14

We all enjoyed this chicken. It's very moist and I personally liked that it wasn't a strong lemony taste. We plan on having this again. - 3/13/13

I love this and cook it all the time. Very easy, pretty quick, and very tasteful. I add lemon zest as well for that extra lemon flavor goodness. - 3/10/12

Chicken was moist.. but I didn't think the lemon-y taste was enough. Also, my bread crumbs got soggy :( - 1/12/11

I made this but added about a tablespoon of olive oil mayo (not exactly healthy, but...) to the butter mixture. I also didn't have seasoned bread crumbs, so I used whole wheat bread crumbs and added a few things (oregano, lemon pepper, basil and I forget what else). It turned out delicious! - 9/23/10

I made this the other night and it was okay. I was expecting a more "lemony" taste. Not sure if I'll make it again or not. - 8/27/10

I'd have to agree that this is very good! I'm tired of chicken but this gave me a little zin with my chicken! I also used special K cereal instead of bread crumbs. I'm eating this right now...Oh, it's also surprisingly tender! :) - 7/7/10

I used limes because I didn't have lemons and it was great.

Sooo yummy! I substituted the bread crumbs w/ Panko crumbs and it was delicious. The Panko soaked up the extra juices. - 5/20/10
