  I loved this recipe, it was very easy and tasty - I served it with chinese noodles. It was probably even better heated up the next day.

  Delicious and very easy. I had a particularly juicy lemon, so perhaps that is why the sauce was rather runny, but it made the rice soooo tasty. I forgot to put the sesame oil in, but I still loved it. I used 6 chicken thigh fillets for ease, that easy ginger puree stuff, and I didn't slice the garlic cloves, just roasted them whole and squashed them afterwards. It only served two adults and 1 child though, so I'll use twice the amount of broccoli next time.

  **** Deliciously sticky and lemony. It made for a great Monday night meal. I squeezed another half lemon over the works before putting it back in the oven for the last 15 minutes. I would add more broccoli as well. Served it over vermicelli noodles. A keeper! Good enough for company.

  I had half a lime in the fridge, so that went in too, and I couldn't resist a few chilli flakes as I love my food spicy hot! Really simple and super delicious but next time I'll try it with skinless/boneless thighs as I'm not really a fan of bones though I will miss the crispy skin... Any which way, this one will definitely be cooked again here, loved it!

  Tasty and light meal. I could have eaten seconds. Would have liked more sauce, and I rubbed the chicken in Chinese 5 spice first too for extra chinese tastes.

  Easy to cook, but sauce was very runny, I will use the juice of half a lemon next time.

  Did this with a pack of thighs & drumsticks so I wouldn't have to chop the chicken myself. It was less effort than it sounded, and very tasty. Might well do it again.

  It was OK, but I thought it was too bitter. I wonder if mixing the lemon juice with sugar rather than drizzling with honey would have been more to our taste.

  This was really yummy, perfect combination of flavours. I used two regular broccolis and 6 skinless chicken thigh fillets for this, but next time I might try it with bone-in legs or chicken breast. Will also cook it longer as the sauce never went sticky.
