This dish is easy enough to make on a weeknight but is impressive enough for company. I like to use a mix of chicken breasts and thighs for this recipe. The sauce in which this chicken bakes is particularly yummy over cauli rice or asparagus.
Lemon Mushroom Chicken
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs, cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup chicken bone broth
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 3 green onions chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups sour cream
- Sliced green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. When the chicken is browned, transfer to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
- To the same skillet, add the broth and lemon juice. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the pan juices into the broth and juice. Simmer over low heat for 2 – 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, green onions, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir well. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
