I don't live very close to a Ruby Tuesday, but whenever I get a chance to eat there, I do. They have such wonderful food and a wide variety on their menu. One of the last things that I ate was the Chicken Fresco. I loved the taste, but did not really like the lemon sauce.
Here is my version of Ruby Tuesday's Chicken Fresco. Hopefully you agree that this version is just as tasty as the real thing.
Ruby Tuesday Chicken Fresco Copycat Recipe Ingredients

Liz, thanks for letting me know how it turned out for you! I would add some additional flour, cornstarch or even arrowroot powder to thicken it a bit more. Thanks for stopping by!

I tried this recipe with half and half and it curdled. I guess lemon curdles milk. About suggestions?
