    I enjoyed this a lot. My husband loved it. I was out of wheat so had to use white flour, but will try with wheat next time (there will BE a next time). I will make with a little more "sauce" next time as the flavor was so great. Used 1 bullion cube instead of loose granules. (Could reduce the egg.) - 3/17/09

    I only simmered for 5 minutes, otherwise that thin chicken would overcook. - 11/10/19

    Our local news channel's website featured your recipe and we tried it last night and LOVED it. Great flavors and tastes wonderful. I'll definitely be making this again. - 2/18/08

    By my reasoning, the chicken should be cooked before it goes back in the sauce, so I only added it back to the thickened sauce for a short time. - 6/23/21

    Use FlaxMEAL or al one flour or both instead of whole wheat flour. Better taste. Chicken broth instead of granules. - 8/21/19

    I enjoy this spin on chicken as I only eat fish and fowl. I also substituted orange peel and orange juice for a difference flavor of such. You can also purchase the chicken filet as is. Good going, SparkFriend. - 7/12/19

    Solid 4! My husband said it was very similar to Buca Di Beppo lemon chicken. I paired it with spaghetti squash and served with a whole lemon for extra squeezing! Will make again! - 8/17/17

    I use rice flour since it takes next to nothing to coat the meat and still have a coating. Have been using rice flour as a white/whole wheat substitue for many years. - 12/1/11
