Lemon Mushroom Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, coating each side with oil. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each chicken breast. Slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon slice on top of each chicken piece.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. Add chicken broth, stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce to reduce, adjusting with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at the last minute. Spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.

• Cover and bake for 30-40 minutes until chicken no longer pink. *Baking time will depend on how thick the chicken breasts are.

• NOTES: Recipe can easily be doubled. I often double the sauce cuz everyone loves a good sauce over their rice.
• If doubling, I would suggest NOT doubling the amount of lemon juice but feel free to add more chicken stock and wine to thin the sauce before cooking.

• Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, paprika and 1 teaspoon dill with 1/2 cup flour. In another medium bowl, add water. Wet chicken with water and then dredge in the flour mixture.
• In large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and saute chicken breasts, about 4 minutes on each side. After they are cooked, remove to a plate. Add to the same pan the shallots and remaining dill. Stir in remaining flour and mix until pasty. Add dry vermouth. After alcohol burns off, mix in mushrooms. Add chicken stock and lemon juice and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and a pinch of parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove pasta from water after cooking for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Toss in oil to coat the pasta and add lemon zest. Put pasta on serving platter, then lay chicken across top and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, thyme, basil, parsley, paprika, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge chicken in the mixture to coat, patting off any excess flour.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook chicken until no longer translucent. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice; pour over chicken.
• Cover skillet, and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Garnish with parsley, capers, and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Stir together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they're 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
• Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you will not use all of it) and tap the breasts to remove excess.
• Turn oven on low Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or the chicken will be dry.) Transfer to the platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some (but not all) it off into a jar or bowl.
• Turn burner heat down to medium-high. Add mushrooms to the pan. Let them sear for about 30 seconds to a minute without moving them, then stir, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. When mushrooms have softened slightly and begun to sweat, add wine, thyme or parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to stir until wine has evaporated and mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon over the chicken, and serve.

Steps:

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