- way,way,way,to much lemon! I made enough for 2 portions of sauce and only used one lemon. had I followed the directions I would have used about six. I also added a little chicken stock and it turned out great. Side note--- if you are cooking your chicken in a pan, as I do, you will need to bread the chicken with flour and egg as well as the bread crumbs or it will be a muchy mess in the pan.
- This was way too sour. 4 oz = 1/2 a cup. Does any recipe really need that much lemon juice? It actually turned the broccoli brown. We threw it out.
- The measurements for the ingredients are not specific enough, not enough direction to make this as good as it could be (for someone who isn't inclined to cook, like myself). I am sure my husband who cooks could make this work, but there needs to be more detail and correct measurements.
- is this carorie count on this correct at 2055 per serving who would want to eat it
- Awesome!
Tweaks
- Oh my goodness this was enjoyed! I had to substitute the prosciutto for some smoked turkey, but it still tasted awesome! Thanks for the recipe:)
