Marinated Lemon Chicken Breasts image

This rercipe comes from a recent issue of American Profile magazine. Preparation time does not include time needed for chicken breasts to marinate. NOTE: For some reason or other I'm not being allowed to indicate, in the list of ingredients, the amount of garlic to use, which is 3 cloves (as indicated in the directions)!
