Creamy Lemon Chicken Dish
Creamy Lemon Chicken Dish
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I need something other than turkey for dinner. Although I love leftovers, I was ready for something NOT turkey. So this Creamy Lemon Chicken was easy and tasted great. The creamy lemon sauce is amazing. Of course, I do love my chicken recipes.
I served it over rice but you could also serve it over pasta. I had some left over and it was good the next day too. it reheats well.
I was able to pick parsley out of my garden for the garnish. I love having an herb garden. We made Moscow Mules for Thanksgiving and we used limes from my tree and mint from the garden. They were so tasty.
