SAUTÉED LEMON CHICKEN

SAUTÉED LEMON CHICKEN

Doesn't this recipe sound refreshing?

It takes so little to make and tastes so good and I love that citrus flavor!

Now I have said many times I love capers but if you don’t or you don’t have it or cannot afford to get it then use green olives. Most of us have that in the refrigerator.

Also rice use the rice you have. I like the instant brown rice but white is good too. If you use white rice use some chicken broth instead of water to make your instant white rice.

I think you will enjoy this fresh, and citrus based dinner.

Here is the recipe:

SAUTÉED LEMON CHICKEN
