Dilled Lemon Chicken

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"I grabbed this when I was raiding my Mom's recipe book collection on my last trip back to the States. I am a big fan of dill so it has to be worth a try. I found it in a Betty Crocker Booklet called 'Fast Summer Suppers'."

Amazing dish! I used apple juice and cut my chicken into strips (because my four chicken breasts were big enough to feed 6), so they cooked a bit quicker. This is definitely going into permanent rotation, thank you so much for posting!

Wonderful! I used Vermouth instead of the wine as suggested by another reviewer. This was really easy and very tasty. I added a little bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce a little. I did not have green onions, but added a stem of fresh parsley to the top. Thank you for a great recipe. It is a keeper!

This was very good. I used dry vermouth instead of wine, and used about 3 times the dill called for. If your chicken pieces are not very thick, the cooking time may be too long as called for. Mine cooked in about half the time. I really liked how fast this was to get on the table. Thanks for posting a great dish!

Outstanding. This is fast and easy to put together and the flavours are great. I would not get something this good in a restaurant. Made as part of the Aus/NZ RECIPE SWAP #27 - April 2009 recommend that you also make this and be impressed too ;-)
