Lemon Butter Chicken

This is my family’s favorite meal. I made this when it was my turn to host the big Sunday dinner and it was a hit! I received numerous request for the recipe. The chicken is so moist and delicious. Follow the recipe exactly as is and you cannot go wrong. Thanks for all your awesome recipes.



Love this recipe. I’ve made it many times. I find that the acidity of the lemon juice makes the spinach turn very dark and lose it’s beautiful green color so instead I steam the spinach separately and serve the chicken over or on the side of it. I have also cut the heavy cream to 1/4 cup to keep the dish lower fat and still tastes great.
