Lemon Cream Chicken

6 Servings Prep: 5 Min. Cook: 45 Min.

Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, slice

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper; add the chicken, a few pieces at a time. Seal bag and shake to coat.

In a large skillet, cook chicken in butter for 8-9 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Remove chicken; cover and keep warm.

Add broth to the drippings. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until broth is reduced to 1/3 cup. Stir in 3/4 cup cream, lemon juice and mushrooms. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.

Combine remaining flour and cream until smooth; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to skillet and heat through. Yield: 6 servings.
