Wow, that's a lot of lemon! That's not a problem for me -- citrus is basically my favorite flavor ever. This could be a favorite of mine.

I'm certainly going to try this crispy lemon chicken. It looks so scrumptious. I like the fact that it is baked. The lemon also adds a different element to breaded chicken so I'm looking forward to that. I'm glad I found another way to prepare chicken breasts as I really like them but the rest of the family gets bored. I think they'll like this one!

This was so good! I love chicken with a bread crumb crust. This chicken was perfectly buttery and lemony.
