Chicken Français
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 2 teaspoons sauce)Source: CL Annual 2003 - pg 17
CL Comments: This is a classic French favorite. For more lemon flavor, serve the chicken with lemon slices.
Amy's Comments: This was very easy to put together and has a nice light flavor.I served it with the creamed-spinach gratin and herbed basmati for a fantastic dinner! (I also halved the recipe since 8 servings is too much. It halves just fine!)
