Creamy Lemon Chicken

We are huge chicken breast fans. We (a family of 2) buy the large boxes of frozen chicken breast even at Costco because of the value and seperate it out into meals. We get about 10 meals out of it and the chicken portions are quite large. Due to the fact we eat a lot of chicken breast, we always have to make sure we are getting creative with the recipes so we don’t get bored. This Lemon Chicken is the perfect switch up that requires very little extra work. Check it out!
