Lemon Chicken Stir-Fry

I have no idea why anyone would say this is flavorless? My family inhaled it. Some slight changes I made that saved me time and gave it more flavor. Brine your chicken. It gives it just the right amount of salt, and makes the chicken super tender (I always brine my chicken in any dish). Don't brine too long, as there's already a lot of salt in the soy sauce, and it will be over- powering. https://www.thekitchn.com/use-a-quick-brine-to-make-any-cut-more-tender-47879 Buy a bag of frozen stir fry veggies (I chose snap peas). I used arrowroot instead of cornstarch. I added about 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper to the sauce (before simmering it with the veggies) to take it up a notch. I served with jasmine rice, as its delicate taste pairs perfectly with the lemon. Viola!

Came out fantastic! I doubled the recipe so we would have leftovers. My adaptations: Marinade chicken in 4 tablespoons lemon juice + 2 tablespoons light soy sauce (double this if doubling recipe); Halved the chicken broth; Added salt and pepper to chicken when cooking it in pan; Used frozen veggies; Reduced sauce in pan before adding to veggies

My family and I didn't like this recipe, they threw it out. I ate it but it wasn't very flavorful, tasted like watered down lemon juice. I do love the calorie count though great to kick start my new diet if I don't give in tonight and go to McD's.

Great Lemon FlavorI confess, I am one of those who made some changes. I was aiming for meatless monday, so I used shrimp instead of chicken. I also used bok choy instead of snow peas. The snow peas at the store were very sad looking and the boy choy looked great. I followed the directions, just making the food swaps. The cooking was a tad faster as the shrimp cooks in just a few minutes. I would make this again.Pros: fast and easyCons: does take some time for prep work

Very flavorful! This was a really great dish with a bold, delicious flavor. I used fresh green beans instead of sugar snap peas, but followed the recipe exactly besides this. I will be making this again, my boyfriend also loved it. Pros: Lots of veggies, tastes great, filling Cons: Lots of prep time

Very Lemony Overall, this was a good dish- lots of fresh veggies and filling. My husband and I thought the lemon flavor was very overpowering though. Next time I will either half the amount of lemon zest or leave it out all together. Could use a little more spice as well. Good recipe for all those leftover veggies in the house though.

Perfect/Easy Stir-Fry This stir-fry was wonderful and easy. We did not use any lemon and it still turned out great!!! Pros: Easy, quick, tastes great

Absolutely wonderful! This was so good, I had to control myself so I wouldn't lick my plate. :) I followed other's advice and cut back on the lemon. I think I used 1/2 the lemon zest called for as well as juice from only 1/2 a lemon. We served it over long grain brown rice and it was awesome! Pros: Delicious, light, healthy Cons: lots of prep work, cut back lemon

Delicious light stirfryI added 2 zuchinni and a yellow pepper to the stir fry to make it even healthier. I used the zest of the lemon and ALL of the juice of the lemon as well as 2 tablespoons of garlic. It was absolutely delicious even without rice. We had plenty of sauce, but my family likes to add low sodium salt. So SO good and we will eat it again.Pros: Full of veggies, light fresh summer sauceCons: NONE

A little blandI really liked the flavors in this dish, but it seemed to light. Seems like there should be more sauce! Good though, I'd make it again and maybe try bell peppers instead.

Very good! We loved this! I used the zest of 1/2 a lemon, still used the same quantity of lemon juice and also added a Tbsp of hoisin sauce to add some sweetness. I modified the veggies based on what I had on hand...and will make it again. Pros: Tasty, healthy Cons: Time consuming

OJ instead of chicken broth I have made it a few times using the original recipe and it has been very good. I made it last night and realized after starting that I didn't have any chicken broth in the house, so I decided to use orange juice instead. It made it much more flavorful and citrusy, without becoming overwhelming. I will be sticking with the modified recipe now! Pros: Easy

Healthy, easy and good for you This was an easy meal to prepare and fast to cook. I used all the ingredients listed, but used real lemon juice instead of an actual lemon. You can control the lemon flavor easier that way. The only alteration I would make to the list of ingredients is to halve the corn starch. I served it with Udon noodles. You know it's good when my husband goes back for seconds!

I recently bought a new wok, and tested it out with this recipe. My husband and I absolutely LOVED it! The lemon is definitely pronounced, and delicious!

My family and I didn't like it because it was too lemony.

This is a delicious meal! The lemon adds a bit of a bite which makes this is a delicious meal. Makes plenty for 2-3 people. Also, this can be added into a burrito or mixed into another meal. I added red, yellow, and green bell peppers. I really enjoyed this meal! :)

This is very easy to make and good flavor. My step daughter is a picky eater but loves chicken. She cleared her plate! It might be a bit lemony for some people if you don't care for the lemon flavor. My family loved it!
