I made this for dinner last night and followed the directions as written except I used chicken cutlets, so no pounding was needed. We really liked this but the lemon flavor was overpowered by the garlic. Next time I would add a little less garlic and then maybe more lemon juice with the butter to drizzle over the chicken. Thanks Culinary for a great recipe.
