This is a meal I have my students make in our nutrition unit. It has a delicious lemon-herb flavor and is simple to make. —Mindy Rottmund, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

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.

My husband, who is a GREAT cook, made this last night and we couldn't eat it. We checked the recipe,which is very easy, and he followed it exactly! We can only explain the taste as if you poured vinegar all over the chicken. Something happened with the acid in the lemon and maybe the rosemary? Yikes, we are stumped!
