The chicken was a bit dry, but the lemon oregano sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon.

This lemon oregano chicken was a hit! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the lemon and oregano gave it a bright, fresh taste. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.
