This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken came out undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for longer.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

Chicken Athena was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the tangy lemon-herb sauce.
