  4. Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.

  6. In a small bowl, blend the Golden Herb with Lemon Recipe Soup mix with 1 cup of water until smooth.
  7. Pour the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken.
  8. Arrange lemon slices on top of the chicken pieces.
  9. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  10. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through.
  11. Serve chicken and lemon slices over hot cooked rice, spooning the sauce over the top.
