This is a wonderful dish, and we absolutely loved it. I thought maybe the amount of lemon juice would be little too much, but it really wasn't. I used Hungarian sweet paprika, and dusted the chicken liberally. I used a combination of fresh parsley and fresh chives to sprinkle on while cooking, and a little more just before serving. The dish was very pretty, and very good. The chicken was moist. Thanks PanNan, I will be making this one again.

My boys asked for this to go on the rotation! It is a winner! The only change I made was I replaced the butter with mayonnaise (because I was out of butter). I whisked together the mayo and the lemon juice added garlic salt and pepper soaked the chicken in the mixture about 10 minutes, then arranged the chicken pieces in a baking dish. Sprinkled on the paprika for color and popped it in the oven. Served with couscous and green beans, it was gobbled up before I could snap a picture. I can see making this again and again, maybe changing out the garlic and lemon for ranch and rosemary seasonings...
