I'm not a huge fan of dill, so I substituted parsley instead. It was still very good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a chicken salad with the leftovers and it was delicious.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the lemon-dill sauce is the perfect complement.
