Amazing Lemon Pepper Chicken

Ingredients:
12 chicken tenders( I usually cut up 3-4 chicken breasts)
1/4 lb butter
2-4 tsp. grated lemon peel
4 TBSP fresh lemon juice
2 C. whipping cream
4 TBSP white cooking wine or white grape juice concentrate
Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper

Directions:
1. Cook chicken in large skillet with butter. Salt and pepper chicken. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through.
2. Place chicken in a glass 9 x 13 pan. Set aside.
3. Dump out some of remaining butter in the skillet, leaving a little to mix with sauce.
4. Turning heat to low, add lemon peel, lemon juice, and white grape juice to skillet. Slowly add whipping cream, stirring constantly. Salt and pepper sauce. When heated through, pour over chicken tenders.
5. Shake parmesan cheese generously over top. Bake in oven on low broiler for 7-12 minutes(mine cooks fast, so I always check around 5-6 minutes). Top will be lightly browned from broiler.
6. I serve over rice. Salad, green beans, etc goes great with this meal. Or Mark's favorite side--fresh pineapple.

This is a sister-in-law's neighbor's recipe. It's yummy!
