I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also a little bland.

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was easy to make and very impressive. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was also delicious, but I added a little extra lemon juice to taste.
