Very good, but doubled the ingredient to chicken ratio and threw in all the herbs -- didn't save half for after. But chicken didn't need to be salted and peppered. Overall delish.

Very good. I've made this a few times and like using 1/2 or 3/4 cup of chicken broth so I can spoon the mixture on the chicken. I make rice with it every time and we all enjoy sprinkling the herb mixture on the rice as well.

Very tasty and easy to make...substituted lemon juice for lemon peel as this is what I had on hand...also added more chicken broth. Served it with a spinach salad. Everyone liked it. :)

I thought this was dry and tough and fairly tasetless. I I did not like it at all. I am not sure if I did something wrong?
