This was easy to make and my family loved it. Out of all the new recipes we've been trying, this is my personal favorite so far. I will definitely make it again!

A very delicious recipe, I was surprised how well the lemon jello worked. This recipe is a keeper.

This was quite good. My husband was raving about it...then I told him it was made with Jello and he didn't believe me.

Great week night meal. Easy to make and great flavour. Prefer with brocoli and carrots.

If you love lemon chicken then you will absolutely love this recipe. I will admit, I found it unusual when I was reading the ingredients and it called for lemon jell-o, but I was intrigued. This is delicious served over rice, and super easy! Special enough even for company!

I make this recipe all the time for my family! Because they don't care for peppers, I use onions. They love it, and it is a recipe everyone enjoys. Great flavour!

I've always loved lemon Jello....now I have another reason to love it! Who would have thought you could use jello in a main entree but it gave just the right amount of lemon flavour. Although my family was skeptical at first, they asked for second helpings. Way to go Kraft!
