Skillet Lemon Chicken Breasts Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Skillet Lemon Chicken Breasts Recipe). This was created after I had to go on a low-fat diet due to gallstones. Cooked on a cast iron skillet, the flavors really mix well and the chicken is very tasty. I can't wait until summer to try it on the BBQ and using it on skewered kabobs.
