Quick Lemon Dijon Chicken

I used 4 chicken breasts so doubled.the sauce ingredients using the juice from an entire lime instead of 1/2. I also used 2 teaspoons of cajun spice. The sauce was delicious but was even better when I added 1 cup of sour cream. Sauce alone would be fabulous on just pasta. Great easy meal.

Really great, weeknight recipe for when you have chicken and don’t know what to do with it in a short amount of time. I also didn’t have many ingredients in the house at the time, so this is an easy recipe to whip up with just a few basics on hand. I didn’t have fresh limes or lemon juice, so I just used bottled lemon juice. The lemon flavor is pretty strong as some users have mentioned, but I liked it that way. I also think if you have real lemons on hand, you could add maybe a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mix also for some more lemony flavor if you’d like. I also didn’t have Dijon mustard, so I used regular deli mustard and then added a tablespoon of mayo as well. Just be sure to whisk well when cooking the sauce to blend the mayo smoothly into the sauce. Delicious!

it was good. I had to add more pepper and some cyanne to taste. Quick and easy.

My youngest is a lemon fanatic, and there was just a little to much lemon for her. Will make it again and tone the lemon down a bit because she still ate it like she hadn’t eaten in a month! Good job!

I made this exact to the recipe but found the taste of the Dijon too over powering. I couldn’t taste any of the other flavours at all

Since it was my first time making this, I followed advice of reviewers. I used only half of the Dijon, but the next time, I will use the full amount. I also covered the bottom of the pan with chicken broth which helped to make more sauce. Served it with rice and sautéed mushrooms and sweet peppers. We really liked it!

I used 1 breast but made the recipe for 2. There was too much of a mustard flavor so next time I will cut that in half but overall good flavor and very easy to make.

This was nice for a change. I found the sauce got a little too much towards the end of eating it. I would maybe add some milk next time to dilute the flavour a little. A good starting point however.

It was fast and easy. I didn’t have breasts, I had legs and thighs. I also ran the chicken under the broiler for a quick browning, yummy.

As with most recipes and as other cooks do I did my own spin on this one two simply because I don’t have all the ingredients on hand and generally I don’t run to the store every time I’m cooking and don’t have all the ingredient. I only gave it a 3 star because the way I made it, it tasted too lemony for my teenage kids (they’re the fussy ones) and my wife. I thought it was a little too lemony too so if I make it again I’ll cut down on the lemon. I don’t have any dijon so I just used a little regular mustard and little powder mustard. I also subbed some chicken seasoning we have in the house as I didn’t have any creole seasoning. It was very simple to make which is great for us house-husbands so that definitely earned a couple of stars. I definitely suggest playing around with this recipe as many cooks do until your family pallet likes it. Bon mardi gras everyone! Laisse les bons temps rouler!

Very good quite tangy. Maybe add some honey next time

So easy and absolutely delicious! The males in my home loved it! Thank you for sharing!

I changed this a bit also, I added honey mustard instead of Dijon and also used lemon juice and lime juice. Fresh fruits aren’t good this time of year. Plus I already had the juices on hand

One of the tastiest and easiest dishes I’ve ever made. A house favorite, easily!

I tried it but made it a little different because I did not have lime I used more lemon and I did not have creole seasoning so I used Mrs.Dash Southwest Chipotle, And cracked black pepper. By happy accident used honey mustard and wanted it saucy so added some sour cream at end of cook time so it would be creamer on white rice, an I have to say having eye balled the ingredients it was Fantastic! For those of you that thought the Dijon was too much try the honey mustard. And if your not liking this! Then your doing it wrong! making this again definitely! With my recipe thou!

I thought this was okay the first time I made it but the mustard and lemon flavors were pretty strong so the second time I halved the mustard and added a scoop of sour bream and was perfect

The recipe as is was pretty unbalanced. I ended up altering it quite a bit and by the time I was finished I had a completely different meal in front of me. The biggest issue I found with the original preparation was that it was too acidic without any heat or sweet elements. I ended up throwing the original sauce and using a combination of half a lemon worth of juice, about 2 table spoons of dijon mustard, a generous amount (to taste) of the creole seasoning, and about a tablespoon of honey (I didn’t measure this) with just a splash of balsamic vinegar. I threw the chicken into the sauce and let it sit while I preheated my pan. Then I tossed my chicken into the hot pan and cooked it while I had some quinoa on the other burner. The two finished at roughly the same time since I reduced the heat so I could thicken the sauce. I also added half a small red onion to the finished product which I quickly cooked in olive oil with 3 splashes of marsala cooking sherry, salt, and pepper. Despite the disaster that was this recipe, dinner ended up delicious. Thanks for the inspiration.

This was a quick and easy meal. The chicken was flavorful and went well over a bed of white rice. I will definitely cook this again.

I absolutely loved this recipe. I did not have any lime juice, but the lemon was enough, and I had to improvise my own seasonings, but it tasted great. The only thing wrong with this recipe is the amount of time she says to cook it. 15 minutes on medium heat is not enough time unless you like your chicken pink on the inside.

The whole family really liked the Quick Lemon Dijon Chicken. It paired well with asparagus. I used lime and lemon juice instead of juicing them myself. The lime however was a little overpowering so the next time I cook this meal I’ll use a little less. I included chicken broth in the recipe adding a little more flavor and juice. Overall a quick and easy meal that tasted great!

My boyfriend and I LOVE this recipe! I actually have to give him credit since he was the one who made and discovered it first. Such a flavorful, easy, recipe! I’ve been making it for over two years and I plan on keeping it around many more. Great for last minute meal idea since the ingredients are basic items most people keep in their fridge. The only suggestion I have is to cook the chicken on low or you’ll burn through the sauce too fast and your chicken will end up dry if you cook it the full 15 minute on medium.
