I've been making this for over 10 years and it is always a hit. Great with rice pilaf and Brussels sprouts.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons water
1 ¼ cups half-and-half
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Coat chicken breasts with the flour mixture. In a large skillet, brown the coated chicken in 1/4 cup of butter or margarine. Add the water, cover and let simmer covered for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour sauce over chicken and bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes
