My husband and I loved this dish! The lemon flavor is really nice and not overpowering at all. The recipe uses really simple ingredients in a great way. I loved the green olives with it. I wouldn't change a thing about this dish. I will definitely make it again.

I don't like the flavor of the ricotta with the added lemon gives it an off taste like it's bad or tastes more like cottage cheese. I think the ricotta would be better with out the lemon so that it's more creamy. Next time i will make the chicken with pasta oliveoil and parmesean cheese
