Chicken With Lemon and Cream

From our local state paper and a special feature of 7 recipes in 7 days. Note prep time could vary depending on if you are cutting up the chicken or have bought pre-cut - allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes to cut your own. UPDATE - thank you to KateL who has alerted me that I had not included the white wine in the ingredient list, I am estimating it would be a 1/4 cup based on similar recipes that I have made.
