Baked Lemon Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

in #recipe7 years ago (edited)

A great chicken recipe that I have made for years. Serve with rice and a fresh veggie. Impressive! 

 Ingredients

  •  1 tablespoon olive oil 
  •  6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 
  •  1 lemon  
  •  1/4 cup butter  
  •  3 cups fresh sliced mushrooms  
  •  2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  •  1/2 cup chicken broth, or more as needed 
  •   1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 

 Directions   

 

  • Prep - 15 m 
  • Cook- 40 m 
  • Ready In - 55 m 

  

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  2. Pour  olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts  in the dish, coating each side with oil. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon  over each chicken breast. Slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon  slice on top of each chicken piece.
  3. Bake  in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices  run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into  the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  4. Melt  butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir  until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes.  Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. Add chicken broth,  stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce to reduce, adjusting  with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at  the last minute. Spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.
Bon Appetit!

This looks almost makes me wish I wasn't a vegetarian.
