Three recipes use what you have, each rated 5.0 by at least 42 people. 15 Minute Garlic Lemon Chicken, 11 min, 94 ratings: breasts dusted in flour and pan-fried, then broth, garlic, lemon juice and butter cooked into a sauce in the same pan. Balsamic Chicken, 21 min, 121 ratings. Lemon Rice Pilaf, 35 min, 42 ratings, as a side.
