We really enjoyed the chicken. Our store didn't have lemon pie filling, so I substituted lemon curd instead. It was very good!!!

I made the rice dish with peas instead of tomatoes due to personal preferences. It was okay, but nothing special.

I do not understand why there is so much soy sauce in this recipe. It destroyed any yellow/lemon colour for the dish. It was an icky brown colour that turned almost black in the oven. It still tasted good, thankfully, but wasn't eye-appealing.

I used chicken breasts so the time was cut down significantly. Next time I will use less soy sauce to try and keep a better colour.

The flavour on the chicken was very good.

This was a great meal. I pre-mixed the sauce the night before so the flavors could have a chance to sit together. This cut the prep time & made the meal to die for!

I made just the chicken part, it was pretty good, although I don't know if I'd spend almost $3 for the lemon filling again.

This was excellent. I have some picky eaters and even they loved it. I will be making this one again and again.

This was very tasty! And the rice was good to go with it. Adding it to our family monthly favorites list.
