Very good!!! I got a little off the track and threw some capers into the sauce (a la chicken picatta). Enjoyed this very much thanks for sharing. -
This was great. The lemon and almond go really well together. Took the advice of previous reviewers and increased the flour mixture. My chicken took longer to cook. Doubled the lemon juice and maybe an extra tbsp or so of almonds. It didn't really make a sauce, though the flavors were nice and intense that really wasn't a problem. Served with rice and peas. Definitely making this again. -
Loved the flavor and who would have thought it was so easy! I didn't use all of the lemon juice called for and next time would go with just 1 Tbsp. Also, there was not enough coating to coat all the chicken but each piece got at least some seasoning. Thanks for the keeper. -
My hubby loved it. I found the lemon flavor to be a bit strong, however I know I will be making this again!

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
