"The appearance of this chicken would probably benefit from a little browning prior to baking, but it's not at all necessary for the flavor! Add a little butter to the pan juices and you have a wonderfully tart lemon-garlic sauce. I do not reduce the sauce until syrupy because I like it over rice or noodles."
