This is a delicious lemon twist on a great dish for company. It helps to get all of the ingredients ready ahead of time, especially for the sauce, but it isn't difficult to make. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were perfect! The lemon garnish looks nice, but consider cutting the lemon into wedges if your family likes to squeeze the juice onto the chicken. Thanks for a superb recipe. It's a keeper for sure!
This is my most requested, and trusted recipe if I am serving company. It takes some time to prepare but the results are worth every minute.
This is a tried and true recipe in my collection that I often serve company
