At Home: Lemon Chicken

For our first anniversary, I put together some family recipes for Keith as a keepsake for generations to come.  One section highlights our family's version of classic American dishes. They are so yummy and delicious and really easy to make. It's our main "go-to" dishes for family gatherings, Sunday night dinners or any time we need a little comfort food.  Keith's mother, Bernice, makes a delicious Lemon Chicken that I often crave.  I asked her to make it last time we visited to feature on What Micky Eats...At Home.
