If you like cilantro, you will definitely like this dish. It adds great flavor to the chicken along with the tangy lemon juice and caramelized onions. The recipe came in one of those recipe “chain letters,” and from the first time I tried it, my husband and I loved it.

It was very good but a little too much lemon. I will make it again with some modifications? It is a little too dry.

When I first made this recipe, I made it as is and didn't add anything else. I liked it, but I felt it needed something more to balance it out. I made it again and I added black beans, salsa, and guacamole. It's great! It's like homemade Chipotle. Thanks for sharing!!

Good, but will use less lemon juice next time.

Easy to make, tastes great! I love cilantro, and this recipe really brings out the flavor with the lemon and cilantro with chicken. I added sour cream and sprinkled cheddar cheese on top...Definitely make it again!

We loved this. I used only half the amount of fat (1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil) and did the onions before the chicken as I usually caramelize onions very slowly. I also added some cayenne pepper to the chicken. I had only bottled lemon juice on hand, but next time will be sure to use fresh as I have found it usually does improve the flavor.It would be easy to caramelize the onions and cut up the chicken and add the spices ahead of time and then really throw this together at the last minute. I suspect it will also freeze well.This recipe will definetly go into frequent rotation.
