    I tried this, but I think I burned the garlic. It was still okay, but next time I’m watching it more closely.

      No way! Fresh garlic makes all the difference. Powder just ain’t the same! 👎

    Lemons in chicken? Sounds weird but I like it. I might give it a go!

    I love chicken but not a fan of potatoes, can I use rice instead?

      I think rice could work! It might change the texture a bit, but I’m all for experimenting in the kitchen. Just adjust the cooking time, maybe cook the rice separately?

    I messed it up. My chicken was undercooked and potatoes too hard. 😭

    I don’t get how lemons and chicken go together. Mine came out too sour. Not a fan.
