CHICKEN WITH A LEMON HERB SAUCE



Chicken With a Lemon Herb Sauce image

This recipe (I think) is from Semi-Homemade Cooking, that show with Sandra Lee, the queen of "70% store-bought, 30% homemade, you take all the credit" fame. Her recipes are right up my alley because I can use all the help in the kitchen I can get to make things quick, but I still want them to be delicious and "homemade". As always, I'm leery about the recipes on tv because you never know if they're going to be edible or not. But the lemon herb sauce was great, especially since I served this chicken and sauce with angel hair pasta and I think that even if you chose to only make the sauce and serve over noodles, you'd still get raves. I adjusted some of the prep.

LEMON BARBECUE CHICKEN

I found this great recipe many years ago in a recipe book so old the pages had yellowed. If you like to barbecue chicken, you'll really like this one. The secret is crushing the garlic rather than mincing. Somehow the flavor of the lemon, garlic and outdoor cooking will just make your mouth water! We all love it at my house.
