I made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. The chicken was cooked evenly and the lemon flavor was perfect.

I made this recipe and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the lemon flavor was overpowering.

This recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste, but it was still good.
