    I followed the recipe and it was fine but not that interesting so i made it again. This time I marinated the chopped chicken in soya sauce, sesame oil (olive oil if you have no sesame oil and Franks Red Hot for about 2 hours. I cooked the rice (Basmati rice is my fav in chicken stock. Now that makes a very nice dish. You don't really need so much garlic unless they are very small cloves. The Franks makes it a bit spicy which is what the recipe needs. Of course you can add any veggies you like ... i used some Cremini mushrooms.

    I think the name of the dish is misleading. There's so little lemon added that it adds no lemon flavor. I increased the liquid and used a vegetable stock for the liquid. The fam liked it. Hubby suggested it needed onion (he loves onions

    I decided to try it in spite of the reviews. I added thyme hoping to enhance the lemon flavor. Still bland. Won't be cooking this again.
