1 lemon, to garnish

Steps:

I'm allergic to honey. Can I use another sweetener in the glaze?

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler recipes with fewer ingredients.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then used it to make this dish on Monday night. It was a quick and easy way to get a delicious meal on the table.

I've tried this recipe with different types of chicken and it always turns out great. I've used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, and even a whole chicken. All were delicious.

The glaze is what really makes this dish. It's sweet, tangy, and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was tender and moist, and the glaze was delicious. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken was cooked well.

I made this dish last night and it was fantastic! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the glaze was out of this world. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the lemon-honey-balsamic glaze was the perfect complement. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a well-rounded and delicious meal.
