Lemon Chicken

3.8

(55)

This chicken is delicious over rice or pasta, which absorbs the tangy sauce. A salad and some crusty French bread would be fine accompaniments.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
8 paper-thin slices lemon
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter with olive oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate. Add mushrooms and garlic to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Return chicken to skillet. Overlap 4 lemon slices on each piece of chicken. Pour white wine and lemon juice around chicken. Reduce heat to low. Cover skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon sauce around chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve.
