Tip: Make sure to use thinly sliced chicken cutlets or slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise and pound it with a meat tenderizer mallet so it becomes thinner.

Not only does this meal look gorgeous, it has tons of delicious flavor and uses simple ingredients. We love chicken and rice type meals and this one is a WINNER.  I will definitely be making the cheesy lemon rice again soon! YUM!
