    Great go-to chicken recipe! I use whatever boneless, skinless chicken I have on hand, and serve it with rice and a green vegetable. Dinner is done and done!

    Tart, fruity tasting chicken that is nice and crispy. The toasted sesame seeds add a nice nuttiness that plays well against the acid and sweetness of the sauce.

    I would sure have this again!! It was tart, zesty, sweet and unique. We used fresh lemons picked directly off the tree which I think gave it the most lemony taste. Very easy to fix and even though I changed the plum sauce to BBQ Honey it worked. I would use less cooking oil to fry the breast in. Served it with white rice (however, brown would probably be better along with a side of brocolli. This appears to be a flexible dish that you could use other white meat (i.e. pork or turkey or even shrimp, and just salmon.

    This chicken dish is unbelievably good. Didn't have a wok so I used a heavy fry pan. The sauce I made a few hours ahead and served this with Giada's Mediterranean salad. This chicken is SO good! You better double the recipe - I did!

    I've made this multiple times and it's just as tasty with more or less zest, depending on your preference. I like lemon flavors in my food, and the sweet, lemony glaze is great.

    You can substitute fruit preserves if you don't have plum sauce, such as pear or apricot jam.

    Making 'zesty lemon chicken' was my first time preparing this type of chicken. It was DELICIOUS! The recipe is simple and I plan to use it often.
