 Dana (Virginia) says:
This was an excellent recipe. I first sprinkled garlic powder on the chicken before browning the chicken in extra virgin olive oil b/c the recipe didn't specify and it was perfect. Additionally I added a little fresh rosemary and fresh sage to the sauce as well as 1 extra lemon and it gave it extra flavor.
