CREAMY LEMON GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN








 CREAMY LEMON GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN

Wow, this meal was so delicious!  The rich creamy sauce accented with lemon, garlic and Parmesan cheese was fantastic!  An easy and quick meal.  The chicken is not breaded, so that further simplifies the recipe.  I used cilantro, however, if you don’t care for cilantro, you may use parsley instead. I have wild cilantro growing in my tropical garden.  It is pretty handy for recipes.  It took me years before I took advantage of it or trusted it, for that matter. My Spanish friends finally convinced me that it was edible, and one day I tried it, and was amazed how similar it is to cilantro I used to buy in the store.
