This is simple, lemony, and delicious! My kids loved it. I substituted capers for olives, which not everyone liked, but the overall dish was a hit. It doesn't make a whole lot, though, so if you have a large family or big eaters you'll need to accompany it with some other stuff.

We LOVE Greek food and this recipe had us shouting "OPA"!I used skinned, bone-in chicken thighs, and doubled the recipe for my family of four (I'm no fool - I know good stuff when I see it!)Salad of spring greens with feta, red bell pepper and cucumber in a light vinaigrette rounded out a delightful dinner. Thanks so much for sharing!

Lemon, olives and orzo! Knew I had to try this, glad I did as it turned out delicious. Used chicken breasts and put in the quartered lemon at the very end. A keeper!

I love this recipe...made it on a Monday and ate it for lunch the next several days! Seemed to get more delicious the longer it sat in the fridge!

the lemon and olives were a nice combo, although so strong a flavor that it made the chicken taste bland and uninteresting. less lemon would help, but it didn't make our make it again list.

This was good...I didn't put as much lemon in the recipe and the flavors were great, not too overwhelming. I also used chicken breast instead of thighs. Easy to make and good too.

If you love lemon in your cooking, this is the recipe for you. Made it as stated and enjoyed it. Paired well with the Celery Root Puree recipe...the puree is too bland for my tastes, but tasting it with the chicken et al, worked well.

We did not care for this. The lemon flavor was too strong for our tastes. It was easy to prepare though.
