Notes
NOTE: If food starts browning too much, tent with foil after about 60 minutes.NOTE: Because the chicken breasts were so huge they took up almost the whole baking dish, I spread the mixture into two 10x15” glass baking pans so the meat would not be crowded and cook more quickly.NOTE: Remove lemon slices before serving.
