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.
