Ingredients for Abby S Lemon Cream Chicken

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • White Wine
  • Lemon, Zest Of
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
