    This sounds delicious. I can't wait to make it. I think there is an error on the chicken though. The recipe is calculated on 3 servings (or 12 ounces) of chicken, but the recipe says 3 pounds. In any case, I will be trying it using the 12 ounces. I love Lemon Chicken ! Maybe low-sodium soy sauce. - 1/19/09
