Just made this and WOW! Whole family approves. So juicy and flavorful! Look forward to making again, plus trying out other recipes on this site
Thanks.
I thought this was very easy and very flavorful. I loved the sauce the wine and lemon juice made with the herbs and chicken juices. I used boneless skinless thighs because that is what I had and they were tender and full of flavor. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Thanks for your support!
Delicious. Added green beans and a carrot from my garden. Thank you. Great recipe.

This was good and easy I had everything on hand except white wine, I used boneless chicken breast bc it’s what I had and thaws quickly. I added a little Apple juice to replace the wine. We will make this again. It tasted like a fresh home cooked meal and I guess it was but wow it’s so easy and good.
I adapted based on what I had available. Boneless skinless thighs worked great. I added chopped onion to the zucchini, I added some red pepper to the herbs to give it some zing. I used more wine and lemon juice than the receipt suggests. It was wonderful. Next time I will probably toss with linguine.

I went to the farmers market and got some zucchini and googled meals with zucchini. I think I undercooked the chicken, but the parts of the chicken I did eat were amazing, along with the zucchini and the residual herbs, lemon juice, and wine which I sopped up with some ciabatta bread. I made it again 2 days later because I still had chicken and zucchini. I didn’t undercook the chicken, and it was a-ma-zing.
Also, I don’t cook often, so it took me a while longer than suggested to prep everything.
