This was really delicious! The lemon peels really brightened up the flavor of the dish. It took a little longer to make the entire thing, but it was worth it and overall, fairly easy to make. I served my chicken over pasta or rice. Thanks for the recipe!

my mother makes a version of this recipe and its awesome!! she would use chicken thighs (more flavor and usually a cheaper cut) and also would add fresh sliced green pepper while sauting the onion/garlic. we would serve it over rice, but a linguini type pasta is good too..
