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.

I liked this though a little bland. I added lemon juice and extra pepper. I used 1T of olive oil to cut fat and calories and I used white wine.

I tried this recipe with some dry white table wine and found it to be quite bland. It was edible...my husband will even still take it to work. I guess I was expecting some zing.

The dish was bland and boring but easy to make. I made it with the chicken stock. I also added fresh squeezed lemon to my plate. Still needed something. I wouldn't make this again.

We loved this recipe. We made it on Mother's Day 2008. We had zuchinni and mushrooms and onions in the pantry so we added them as well. We love veggies. We used Vermouth for the liquid and added some red pepper flakes to the sauce. The lemon zest added a great flavor. We substituted orzo instead of rice and added some of the pasta water to thicken up the sauce. It was a perfect and a healthy dinner on a nice spring day.

I am not a health nut but this dish was healthy and delicious at the same time. I used white wine and brought it to a boil and reduced it by half which made the sauce thicker. I also roasted the asparagus first in the oven at 425 for 20 minutes. I put olive oil, salt and pepper on the asparagus and put it in the oven and then after it roasted, I then cut the into 1/2 inch pieces which gave it much more flavor! I will make this again!!!

I loved this recipe. The lemon inthe recipe bought out the flavor of the chicken and the asparagus and the rice. I would definitely make this dish again.

I love this recipe...plain and simple. Oldest concept in the book - chicken and rice....but the lemon makes it brand new! And the asparagus is a natural pairing for this dish. Great quick meal for a weeknight.
