Comments from lebowskifan :

Delicious lemon chicken rom Scoozi Restaurant in Chicago. I find that there's not a ton of the sauce; if you wish to have extra to drizzle on veggies or whatever, I'd probably double the sauce ingredients. It's good with pasta or roasted potatoes.

* single breasts, or, sometimes I like to cut those into halves as well for more of a 'strip'
