I used a hot salasa (and used all the jar). I reduced the oil by half and would consider omitting it completely next time as I don't think it was really necessary. Next time, I'd use fresh corainder to finish rather than the dried parsley-it was easy but I don't think it added anything to the dish. We ate this over pasta with the cheese as suggested and some sour cream. It's a great recipe that has wonderful possibilities.

Easy and tasty. I used fresh cilantro instead of parsley and otherwise made the recipe as stated. The chicken breast fillet was delightfully moist and tender cooked perfectly under the blanket of sauce. I wished the flavors penetrated a little more below the surface and would probably season the chicken next time. Thanks Mandy for a wonderful entree. Made for 123 Hit Wonders.

I made this dish last night for dinner. The only change I made to it was that I marinated the whole breasts overnight in the salsa. I did not cut up the breasts. They made a lovely presentation with the salsa color and the nice parsley on top. Except for the almost overpowering lemon taste, it was good. I will make this again, but will put less lemon in it. I love lemon chicken but feel this dish should have more of the flavor of the salsa which was downplayed a bit too much. Thank you for the recipe.

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
