Vegetables in Chili Lemon Chicken Broth/ Chicken/Fish Fillet

Montana Heart Song's Note:

I was in Dairy Queen and ate chili lime chicken fillets. I liked the taste so came home and thought I would duplicate the taste with lemon,chili/broth/vegies and chicken or fish since MH can eat only "fins and feathers" once in a while,and lots of vegetables.There is no salt except in the chicken broth for dietary reasons.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but this has to be one of the worse recipes I've ever had on here.. It was horribly salty (3 bouillon cubes) ruined the whole dish. I tried my hardest to not let it go to waste by adding more lemon juice and spices but no luck. It was basically fish and veggies floating in a sea of salt water. After spending the time to chop up everything I was hoping it would be good but, sorry it wasn't...

Added Zucchini cubes to the rest of the vegatables...Really is a great , quick dish and yes you almost have Dairy Queen copied , but I like your version better. Will be making it again. A fellow Montanan who knows Dairy Queen...
