Lemon Chicken

Chef #1435547's Note:

This delicious lemon chicken recipe uses a pour-over lemon sauce as the featured flavor. Each bite is filled with tart and tangy lemon that keeps your taste buds tingling. It avoids the higher calorie versions that call for breading and frying the chicken, and in doing so brings out the fantastic lemon taste. This is perfect over egg noodles or rice because stronger sauces need somewhat neutral side dishes to keep the flavors of the meal in balance.

The chicken was good but alittle too much lemon for my taste. I think next time, I'll add some chicken broth in place of some lemon juice. I have to admit, I doubled the sauce so I had some for the noodles..... maybe that's why I felt the lemon overpowered the meal. I'll definitely make it again though.
