Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest, stirring to combine, and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the chopped parsley and thyme, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for 8-10 minutes, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Serve the lemon herb chicken topped with the mushroom sauce, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
