Annie, this is very similar to the recipe I use. It’s delish! Only other things I add is some grated onion and olive oil to the marinade/”vinagriette”. Hands down one of our faves.

This really looks excellent! Chicken piccata is one of my absolute favorite dishes (and my husband’s), so I know that we’d love this as well. I too love lemon in the spring time!

This looks so good! We eat a ton of chicken so I have got to try this! I will link it back to you when I do :)

I have to say. I crave pumpkin year round. But other than that, it is definitely weird how tastes evolve. I was all about apples all fall. Then grapefruit all winter. Now we’ll see where the weather takes me…

This looks delicious. I think with the sides, you’ve made an absolutely perfect meal.

I could be wrong, but after you marinade something (especially chicken!) you should be throwing out any leftover marinade. Putting the excess marinade that has been in contact with raw chicken over cooked or semi-cooked chicken seems like a no-no to me. Perhaps since it’s only half-way through the cooking it would be heated enough to kill any bacteria? I don’t know, but when I try this, I’ll be skipping that step :/ (Or, making some extra marinade to reserve before coming in contact with the chicken.)
Looks delicious though. I’ve not tried lemon chicken, ever. But my tastes are growing so I’ll give it a try!

This looks amazing and savory! When I make lemon chicken, it incorporates lemon jello powder, which freaks the husband out! I’ve have to try this one:)

Annie, I’m thinking of making this meal soon but have a question about how you made the chicken and the garlic rice for the same meal. One requires 375 degree oven while the other requires 425. Did you use two ovens or did you meet the temps in the middle? I would love to make this complete meal like you did because it sounds so good! Thanks!!

Yay! That makes me so happy! Did that affect the times for both the meals too???? I’m assuming that it will… I’ll keep a close eye.

Looks great! another awesome chicken recipe, definently going to try this out!! thanks so much for all your post, i have enjoyed them so much since I found your blog a couple weeks ago!

Erica, nah, it’s only a 25˚ difference for each, and I figure many ovens vary by about that much in their temperature cycling. I used the times indicated in the recipes and it was fine.

I just uncovered your blog and so look forward to sitting down at
the end of the day and “filling” up with the recipes. I have been cooking
for MANY years and never tire of the symphony of the scents and tastes
of a well orchestrated meal. You are a marvelous conductor!! Thank you.

Already made this for dinner last night, Annie. It was superb! And I served it with a side of broccoli and garlic rice (though I just cooked my brown rice in the rice cooker and threw in some garlic salt!) Thanks for having a thought process and a food craving that lines right up with mine! You never fail to give me inspiration when I need it!

I’ve been on a lemon kick lately, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the season! I like the look of this chicken!

Oh Annie, those look perfect! I am going to have to take this recipe to the grill!

Kamilah, you can find it by using the search bar. It’s one of our favorite side dishes!

I love lemon flavoured things. *bookmarked*

I have the same recipe posted on my blog right now. It’s a wonderful way to make chicken. Lemon and chicken are a great combination.

Sure.

Well, the cooking time may vary. You’ll have to check and make sure it’s cooked through.

I made this tonight for dinner and it was fantastic!

Annie,
We just loved your chicken.
I marinated it overnight, it was so lemony.
It’s now our new family favourite!
My son told me I was a star, which really made it worthwhile :)

love

Best lemon chicken we’ve EVER made…thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

This was really good! My son who is picky ate 2 legs off the bone, so not his thing + he licked his fingers afterwards! I’ll make this again, however, would double the marinade for some extra to pour over chicken as I didn’t really have any extra to add onto towards end of baking time. I like a lot of flavor so I’d also add another clove of garlic and add a bit more of thyme and rosemary. Thank you for the awesome recipe!

Chicken looks delicious and can not wait to try it. I do have a question about pouring the remaining marinade over the chicken halfway through baking. How safe is it to use the marinade after having had the raw chicken in it and then using it again? You always wonder about this considering the raw chicken. Maybe I misunderstood the recipe directions.

We have made this twice in the past month, it is one of my new favorites!! Thanks for such a great recipe!!

I had these marinating in the fridge for 2 days and decided I needed to get them baked up before they went bad. I baked them up Friday night for hubby’s Saturday evening meal while I’m at work. He loves cold chicken and I thought these would be perfect. After baking and cooling off a while I ate one at about 1:00am. Oh My Gosh! It was sooo good! I even scraped up some of the pan drippings and ate it off the spatula! This is a definite keeper. I also just made the light brioche buns to go along with the chicken. This is my third time making the buns. Just as Joan Crawford said, “No More Wire Hangers!”, I say, “No More Store Bought Buns!” I peruse your blog every chance I get at work….once we get the patients asleep in their beds.

Made this lemon chicken tonight and it was amazing. The only thing is that it was a bit dry. Next time I will leave it less time in the oven and it should be perfect. The remaining sauce dried up when I put it in halfway through baking. Would have enjoyed having some to pour on top of the oven potato chips I made with the chicken

This was AMAZING. Really outstanding. I did add some olive oil to the marinade, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thank you for posting!

Made this last night, turned out great. I doubled the marinade and used half to marinate and then the other half for basting because I’m paranoid about cross-contamination. Really good flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh, man, that looks delicious! Beautiful food photography, too.

I made

I made this last week and it was awesome! Told everyone how great it was. Cannot wait to make it again! A new favorite!

I found this recipe on pinterest and it was delicious! The spinach salad on the side was a nice touch, especially since I’m on a no carb-no sugar diet :)

awesome awesome awesome . French said Agreable jolie et bien a manger

Will try tonight. Thank you so much for sharing.

Can’t wait to try it! And i’ll make some of those amazing pitas breads of yours and dip them into the leftover cooked marinade with the melted butter!

I’m wondering how this would do in the slow cooker…..has anyone tried this yet?
We have 3 soccer practices today and it would make it much easier. :)

Made Last night was soo good!!

Eating this as I type.. but I have to say it was really difficult to put the fork down… but I wanted everyone to know HOW GOOD THIS IS. I used chicken leg quarters, marinated with the given recipe + 1/4 of olive oil. Cut up 2 baking potatoes, layered them in the bottom of a pot, laid the chicken on top & baked at 350 for 1.5 hours (I was gone and didn’t want them to be overcooked when I got home). I broiled them at 500 for the last 5 minutes. Also, when I added the sauce back in the pan I added an additional cup of chicken broth. The potatoes with the marinade are SO delicious and the chicken is just lemony enough and the crispy skin is to die for!

I make this chicken all the time- I got it from simply recipes.. its perfect! I make it will chicken breast on the bon, with skin.. So good!

Made this for dinner last night…followed your recipe exactly… You are a rock star!

I made this,family loved it,repinned as a keeper. Thanks

I really don’t think that just because you changed it from thighs to breasts makes it adapted…it’s stolen. There really should be more honesty amongst food bloggers.

I made this and it came out perfect the first time! Do add this to your recipe box! Thank you Annie’s eats!

AWESOME Chicken !! I made some xtra sauce to top, let it cook in oven
it thickend up yummy!!
