Lemon cream chicken with mushrooms

Lemon Cream Chicken with Mushrooms is a delectable and rich dish that combines tender chicken breasts with earthy mushrooms and a velvety lemon-infused cream sauce. This recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner and can be accompanied by rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

6 tbsp butter
81g
3/4 lb mushrooms
340g
24 oz chicken breasts
680g
4 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1 cup chicken broth
240g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
240g
3 tbsp lemon juice
44g
1/2 tsp white pepper
1.20g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- In the same skillet, melt 2 more tablespoons of butter.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside with the mushrooms.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux (a smooth paste).
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth, then whisk in the heavy whipping cream.
- Cook the sauce, whisking constantly, until it thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Add Flavor to the Sauce:
- Stir in the lemon juice, white pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Combine everything: Add the cooked chicken and mushrooms back into the skillet.
- Stir everything together until the chicken and mushrooms are well-coated in the sauce and heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Serve:
- Serve the lemon cream chicken with mushrooms hot, over rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables as preferred.

Tips:

- For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic for a few hours before cooking.

- To ensure the sauce reaches the desired thickness, you can simmer it longer while occasionally stirring.

- For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce will be less creamy.

- Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives to add a pop of color and additional flavor.

- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms, as it will help them brown evenly and enhance their flavor.

Enjoy your Lemon Cream Chicken with Mushrooms, a dish that's sure to impress with its creamy texture and refreshing lemon flavor. The combination of the tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and luxurious cream sauce makes it a dish worth savoring.
