Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Zest of lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through and meld the flavors.
Step 8
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
