Chicken in lemon cream sauce with sugar snap peas

At least one chicken dish a week, we think! This time it is fried in oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. It is served with boiled rice and a cream sauce, which does not go down well. With a little lemon in it, it lifts a classic sauce to new levels. Try it and you'll see!
