EQUIPMENT

• 8×8-inch Glass Baking Dish
• Instant-read Thermometer
• Large Skillet

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 lemon
• ¼ cup butter
• 3 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• ½ cup chicken broth or more as needed
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400° F
• In an 8×8 inch glass baking dish, add olive oil. Tip the dish back and forth to spread the oil and coat the bottom.
• In the prepared baking dish, add the chicken one at a time. Turn the chicken to coat with olive oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer.
• Cut the lemon in half. Set aside one-half of the lemon. Using the other half of the lemon, using a sharp knife, slice the lemon into approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick slices. Try to get 6 slices if possible.Set aside for later.
• Taking the un-sliced half of the lemon, squeeze the juice on top of the chicken.
• Place a lemon slice on each of the 6 chicken breasts.
• In the preheated oven, bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, no longer pink in the center, when pierced the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reads a minimum of 165° F.

For the Sauce:

• In the meantime, place a skillet over medium heat. Add butter, and melt.
• In the skillet, add mushrooms. Stir and cook approximately 6 minutes, or until the mushrooms brown and the liquid has evaporated.
• Sprinkle the all-purpose flour on top of the mushrooms. Stir to coat well.
• Pour in chicken broth, cook and stir until the sauce becomes creamy.
• Continue cooking, stirring often, and allow sauce to reduce. Add more chicken broth if it is not creamy enough.
• When the chicken is done, add parsley to the sauce, stir in, and remove from heat.

To Serve:

• Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken.
