How to Make Abby S Lemon Cream Chicken
- 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.
- Remove chicken from pan and set aside in a 9x13 inch oven-safe dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir gently to combine and heat through, being careful not to boil.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Top with 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- 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.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
