BONNIE'S LEMONY CHICKEN



BONNIE'S LEMONY CHICKEN image

This is my favorite dish to serve guests because it is elegant looking without taking a lot of time to prepare it. Made with chicken tenders soaked in buttermilk, and fried until golden brown. The chicken tenders are then topped with a finger-licking sauce that takes it right over the top in flavor! I have been making this dish for several years, and I have never found anyone that didn't like it. A great TNT recipe! Enjoy! Original recipe by Sandra Lee, and the photos are my own.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound chicken tenders
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
⅔ cup fat free half-and-half
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken tenders.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken tenders and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms start to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Whisk together half-and-half, chicken broth, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons dill, and cornstarch in a medium bowl; add to the skillet. Stir until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low, add chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon dill on top of the chicken, and serve with lemon wedges.
