This dish was easy to make, but it didn't turn out very well. The chicken was tough and the rice was mushy.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the lemon rice was flavorful and tangy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a new way to cook chicken.
