Lemon & Sage Chicken

Submitted by Hippie2MARS

"My friend, Corrie, is an amazing cook, and this one comes from her kitchen. She made it on the grill when she served this (which was awesome!), but I had to adapt it to a stove top recipe. I also changed it ever so slightly to suit my tastes, and added a simple gravy to drizzle over the top. You could easily increase the lemon juice to 1 cup to make enough marinade for more servings."
