The chicken smelled awesome cooking, and tasted moist, tender and oh so delicious! I also could not find the lemon herb chicken sauce so I added some herbs de provence to the butter and lemon juice. Cooking for one I just prepared one chicken breast. Cooked this in a toaster oven and when it was done, I poured the marinade into a small dipping bowl. WoW good. I will be making this recipe again and recommend anyone who likes chicken to try this. Thanks Mommy Diva and Fight like a Girl! Hugs

This was gorgeous! That's really the only word I can use. I was lazy and used whole chicken breasts, baking them upside down in the sauce so they would be moist. I flipped the chicken over and put them under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the skin up before serving. Once the skin was nice and crispy brown I poured a good spoon full of the lemony butter sauce over the top before serving. Easy, moist and flavorful! Great simple chicken recipe!!!
