Loretta Lynn's Creamy Lemon Chicken image

I have made this tasty recipe for years; I originally got it out of a cookbook by that wonderful lady, country singer Loretta Lynn. You may want to add a smaller amount of lemon juice, as it is fairly prominent. However,when reheated the next day (if there are any leftovers!) the lemon flavor will have mellowed. I also often add one minced garlic clove when browning chicken. One of my husband and my favorite recipes!
