Well friends, today I’ve got a recipe that’s nothing short of great, Creamy Citrus Chicken Breast. When we think of a chicken breast main dish, we almost feel sad at the thought of having it grilled, but in reality, countless tasty recipes can be made with chicken breast without sacrificing lightness. In this case, I paired chicken with citrus which, I must admit, really surprised me and I think I’ll definitely replicate it. I enjoyed this chicken breast with some very tasty croutons, but you can easily omit them.
