Recipe Reviews
It was so easy to make and affordable so I love it!
Too sour cause of the lemon in my opinion but my mother is Hispanic so she was all over this dish therefore i'm still grateful.
Needed to cook it longer than stated cause it came out a bit undercooked, but once I got the hang of timing it all was perfect.
Zesty,flavorful, affordable and delightful to eat! My stomach is smiling at me after this one.
Bookmarked this page because of all the amazing recipes on here, can't get enough of them.
Cooked this along with some potatoes and made some cherry cheesecake for dessert served along with some red wine which my hubby and I loveddd.
Fantastic and simple dish to make can't ask for anything better, thanks again.
Had to add more salt the second time round' other than that fine.
Love this website and all the dishes you can find on here, everything is really yummy and simple to make.
My husband loves this dinenr/lunch so much so going to be making it once every week, maybe even twice,LOL!
Great recipe will be sharing this with family and friends so they can enjoy this amazing meal too.
It's super zesty and just wayyy too flavourful just how I like it, not a single plain or bad thing about this plate.
I baked the chicken instead because it taste better baked rather than on a skillet but that's just me of course.
Keeping this recipe in my favorite meals to make book, this is just sooo good!
Didn't think I'd be a big fan since I love my sirloin strips a bunch with potatos, but this lemon dill chicken has a place in my heart for sure now.
WOW! this chicken is honestly so flavourful and delicious, I love it more than anything!
My favorite chicken dish to bring to the table, the kids and I really like it.
Kids ate the whole plate and wanted more! Thanks for sharing this delicious chicken dill lunch, had mine with fries.
Made this with some white rice instead but it was wonderful and juicy.
Heaven on Earth, can't get over this amazing lemon chicken and even ate the leftovers cold since it was still so tasty.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing recipe!
