Did not use Chicken Breast, but instead use a more favorable meat the Boned Chicken Thighs. Besides So far this year I have able to purchase chicken quarters at 27 cent a pound. which leave me the drumsticks and the bones from the thighs to make stock. A frugal Cook.

When it comes to “1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules” does that mean prepared? Can I substitute chicken broth instead? How much would I use if so?
posted by Slava Bond on October 1, 2017
Hi, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water may be substituted for 1 cup (250 ml) of chicken broth in this recipe.

I made this recipe tonight and was very disappointed. The chicken lacked any flavor. I couldn’t taste any lemon or garlic flavor in the meat & if I hadn’t made fettuccini Alfredo to serve with it, I don’t know if we could have even eaten it without some BBQ sauce or something. It just did not taste pleasing at all. I won’t ever make it again.

Hi, Ruth. I apologize for the poor experience and I understand how disappointing it can be when things don’t turn out as expected. I’d love to learn more about your experience and see if there’s anything we can do to make it better for you. Could you please let me know what went wrong? I always looking for ways to improve our recipes and would greatly appreciate your feedback. Best Regards.
