How to Make Abby's Lemon Cream Chicken

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and sauté for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  2. Remove chicken from pan and set aside in a 9x13 inch oven-safe dish.
  3. Discard excess butter from the pan. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice to the pan.
  4. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup heavy cream.
  5. Stir gently to combine and heat through, being careful not to boil.
  6. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Top with 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
