Glazed Lemon Chicken & Rice

I've been finding some really yummy recipes on Pillsbury.com. This week I found one for Lemon Glazed Chicken and Rice.

The only change I made was using a green pepper instead of an orange pepper and didn't add the onion. I didn't have either at home.

However, this still turned out so delicious!!
