"This is a wonderful restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make and lower fat too! I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish, this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well. I most always double or triple the glaze ingredients"

I doubled the sauce and it made enough sauce to have over noodles on the side. This is a great chicken meal and one we will definitely have a lot more. I did add the capers which really added to the flavor a lot!

This is a delicious low fat recipe that my friend and I thought was fantastic! We had it with linguine and the sauce was so good over it. I doubled the sauce to make sure we had enough. I will definitely make this again. If you like lemon you will crave this! Thank you for sharing it here Carol! Linda
