This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce lacked flavor. I think it could have used more lemon and dill.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. However, I found the asparagus to be a bit overcooked. Next time, I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.

Easy and tasty! I didn't have any dill on hand, so I used parsley instead. It still turned out great. The chicken was moist and the sauce was light and flavorful.
