I love this recipe! I did bake the chicken in a panko crumb coating though. I also made the lemon curd (Recipe 61278 by Rita) which made a fantastic sauce that was so tasty.<br/><br/>Thanks for posting, I'll make it often.

We made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it! The lemon sauce is awesome, and complements chicken nicely. I thought about trying some shredded coconut in the flour batter for next time - I think it would be great. If anyone has a way to make this a "baked" recipe, I would love to hear that as well to help lower the fat.. Thanks for posting!!
