Chicken Thighs with Lemon Cream Sauce
A creamy sauce is tempered with lemon in this simple recipe. It's best served with flavorful vegetables, like asparagus. Adjust the amount of lemon to suit your palate. If you enjoy this sauce, double the ingredients to have extra on hand for topping omelets or eggs at breakfast.
