Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Glaze

This was an easy to throw together, flavorful dish. The title says it has a lemon glaze, but to me a glaze is thicker so it was more of a saucy type thing. Either way, I just spooned a little over the chicken and let it soak up all the delicious lemon flavor. I also made the dijon because I thought I had some in the fridge and realized I used the very last of it a few days before and well lets face it, I was to lazy to run to the store. I never realized how simple it is to make! I will never buy another jar of dijon!
