This is one of my favorite quick meals. I use chicken breasts instead of thighs. Putting the lemon slices underneath is a brilliant idea. The lemon gives it a lot of flavor along with the olive oil and garlic. I also use a cookie sheet instead of a cast iron skillet and it only needs to bake for 25 min, if you aren't careful you can burn the potatoes.

When I told my husband I was making lemon chicken his reply was that he hates lemon chicken and it was a waste of good chicken thighs. I told him it was different - he really liked it after he tried it. The chicken was moist and tender and the blend of garlic and lemon was awesome. It is a light alternative way to fix chicken.

I just made this last night for friends and it turned out great! I increased the amount of tomatoes used and the amount of oil (I didn't measure, I probably doubled the amount of oil used). I would use 1 pint of tomatoes and 2.5 tbs of oil. Very tasty! Will definitely make again!

This was ok, a little on the bland side. I used bone in chicken thighs and sliced regular potatoes. Everyone ate it, no one loved it.

I would use less lemon slices and it says to cook uncovered but I would cover it.

I think I used more potatoes (and definitely tomatoes) than called for - so I should have increased the spicing - but overall it was very tasty and i will definitely make again.

My son raved about this at dinner tonight. It's so easy to make and takes so little time to cook. I omitted the lemon zest and the tomatoes and the rosemary. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me.

Okay I made this tonite for dinner (12/12/2011) I dont know what's wrong with you guys that have rated it. I did it exactly like the recipe said except I used only 1/2 a lemon thinly sliced and only a little grated lemon peel. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!! Mine turned out looking just like the picture. PERFECTLY!!!! My husband, 7 yr old and picky 5 yr old love it!!!! The lady that said her husband was a good cook? I'm confused on that one!!!

I'm gonna try it tonite. With the 2 reviews already I'm almost scared to. But I got all the ingredients and if I dont try it myself I will never know how it turns out for me. With whats done been said I think I will cut down on the lemon and lemon peel and see how it turns out for me. I will let you know how it done for me. Thanks, homemaker27 :)

I really liked this recipe and it was very easy and quick to make. If you don't care much for lemon you might want to stay away from this recipe. I am thinking of adding a few different spices to the chicken rub next time I make it.
