I only used about 4-5 tablespoons of the lemon curd, i added some garlic and ginger into the white vinegar stage, and i added the juice of the lemon i zested and it tasted delicious!!! Perfect blend of sweet and sour and lemon!

I searched three stores to try to find lemon curd and unfortunately, couldn't find it. However my daughter and I improvised and used apricot preserves and guess what?!? We invented something really yummy. Everybody -- feel free to experiment with the apricot preserves. Solves the problem of being too sweet and is still delicious. We will make the jasmine rice with chicken broth, lemon zest and remaining apricot preserves to continue the flavor. Unexpectedly delicious!

The dish is great - well worth making. But specifically to Jennifer in St. Paul: Keep your negative comments about peoples' taste to yourself. If you want to insult someone, do it in real time. This is a nice place to talk about food. Let's keep it that way.

Have you ever had lemon chicken from a Chinease restaurant? Morons.....it is even sweeter than this recipe. Cripes people jump into reality.

This happens to be the only recipe of Rachael's that I actually like.

Add some fresh lemon juice and it compliments the flavors very nicely.

If you do not like sweet things, for god's sake, don't make lemon chicken. DUH.

I wish that I had read those reviews before making it. I thought it was good, but my husband and my mother in law thought it was too sweet. Next time I'll use 1/2 of the curd and put in some red pepper flakes. Other than that, I thought it was YUMMY! The special rice is soooo goood! I love flavors like that. Will definitely be making this again with a few adjustments.

My husband is super picky so it's always a challange to find new foods to cook, but he does love his lemon chicken from the local Chinese restaurant. Well, he said this was superb and he raved all night. I did overcook the chicken a bit (my mistake, but the flavors were amazing. Used half the curd and squeezed a lemon into the final sauce. It's definitely a keeper!!

I made this and taking into account the other reviews, I used less than 1/2 a cup of the lemon curd and also added the juice of the lemon. It was way too sweet for our taste though. I added red pepper flakes to help balance out the sweetness, and that helped a bit, but after eating just a bit I began to feel sick from the sweetness. I won't be making this again and I think it will be a long time before I can convince my husband to try anything with the words lemon and chicken in the name.

Just made it - VERY easy recipe and good.

The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't taste very natural to me. But I think it's just Rachel's style - the lemon curd in this and the apricot preserves in the apricot chicken just seem to all be in the same family. She must have 100's of different jellys in her kitchen. I might make it again, but I'd use lemon slices/juice, and some other variations in the sauce to replace the curd.

after being bored at work, and reading like 100 reviews about this, i decided to try it out. the only thing i was worried about was how alot of the reviews thought it was too sweet, and others thought it was perfect. i did everything like the recipe says excepttttt i decided to measure out 1/2 cup of curd, which for some reason seemed to be most of the[10 oz.] jar(i didnt get that?...and personally i found it a little on the sweet side, but still very good... so i just added some more stock until it tasted less sweet. it was really tasty and awesome when i was finished. so thats really the only thing i changed, and so it doesnt hurt to try it that method. DEFinatly try making it though cuz its easy.
