This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The citrus flavor helps to mask the taste of the vegetables.

I'm not a fan of the citrus flavor in this dish. I think it would be better with a different sauce.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in one pan, so there's less cleanup.

I'm not a big fan of citrus flavors, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and the sauce was tangy but not too overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

The sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was overcooked. I think it would be better to cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This citrus chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and delicious. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a perfect meal.
