Chicken Breasts in Lemon Mushroom Sauce image

This delicious recipe was inspired by a dish that I made which was submitted by History Teacher. Thank you for inspiring me, I wanted to make your dish again but didn't have all the ingredients so I improvised and this was the result. It is quick and easy to make with a pronounced lemon flavor. We enjoyed it served over noodles.

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 chicken breasts, halved, boneless and skinless
1 egg, jumbo, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, sea
1/2 teaspoon pepper, black
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
2 -3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 onion, sweet, finely chopped
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the egg and one tablespoon lemon juice, mix well and set aside until required.
  • Next into a bag, add the flour, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and lemon zest.
  • Dip the chicken breasts in the egg mixture, then add them to the bag of coating and shake, until well coated.
  • Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking for 5 minutes on each side or until done.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • If necessary, add the additional tablespoon of butter, then add the garlic, shallot, onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5 minutes on medium to low heat.
  • Now in a small bowl add the chicken stock, 2 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice and cream together, stir and add this to the pan.
  • I had large chicken breasts so I added them back into the pan and brought everything to a gentle boil, cooking until the mixture started to reduce and sauce thickened. You may cook sauce to your preference.
  • I served the chicken and lemon mushroom sauce overtop of simple buttered noodles for a quick and easy meal.
