Lemon Chicken Casserole Recipe
Striclty speaking I think this Lemon Chicken Casserole Recipe is actualy a stew because it is cooked on the stove top and not in the oven.
Nonetheless it makes a great chicken recipe and a tasty dinner idea especially for a cold winter's evening when you have hungry guests
to feed. The lemon is a perfect compliment to the chicken meat and the beans make it hearty and filling.
Another great thing about lemon juice is that the acid makes it act as a slight tenderiser even though chicken meat is generally quite a tender meat.
