Lemon Butter Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: paynes PHOTO BY: CandiceSteele

"I love lemons on everything and created this quick and easy recipe one night. You can reduce the lemon juice for a less lemony taste. I use tenderloins for a shorter cooking time. It is even better if you have the time to marinate. The leftover juice is great served with rice or to dip with Texas Toast or rolls."
