This easy and delicious meal is light, bright, and bursting with flavor. Lemon, herbs, and butter are a classic combination that takes ho-hum chicken breasts from good to great. A touch of cornstarch adds a little body to the sauce. Serve the chicken over rice, pasta, salad greens, or any side of your choosing (for extra sauce that you can spoon over your sides, we recommend doubling the ingredients for the sauce).
