Not only easy and quick to prepare, it also tastes great, and the bonus..low in fat. Loved the lemon flavour, the chicken was very moist and tender. Also the added turmeric gives it a great colour. Thanks Jen!

I loved how quick and easy it was to prepare. We had some friends over for the afternoon and it lingered to dinner and all of a sudden I had to cook dinner. I had printed this one and it seemed harmless enough for people who I didn't know their tastes (lemon, chicken, salt, pepper - not too scary. And just a little turmeric, which I'd had favorable experiences with previously) but it was super strong and seemed more mustard-y than lemon-y. My husband liked it, but he'll eat just about anything. As the cooker of the recipe, I think I'll pass on it next time.
