Chicken Breasts in Lemon Cream Sauce

This recipe has my favorite flavors; lemon

and cream. They always make a lick your

plate clean sauce for chicken. 

I use 3 large boneless breasts that I cut

in half lengthwise and pounded slightly for

an even thickness. You can use 4 smaller

breasts too. Keep the other ingredients

the same so you'll have plenty of sauce...

yum! 

 Gather all the ingredients.

 Saute' the mushrooms in 3 T butter.

Brown nicely. 

Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts

in flour, shaking off excess. Season

with S&P. 

Then remove them to a plate.

 Add the remaining 3 T butter to the pan.

 Saute the floured and seasoned chicken 

about 5 minutes per side until golden brown. 

 Add the broth to the skillet, stirring to loosen

all the browned bits. Simmer to reduce slightly.

 Stir in the cream and lemon juice.

Cook until slightly thickened. 

 Season with white pepper and salt.

 Return the mushrooms and chicken. Simmer 

for 15  minutes to thicken the sauce.

Serve with rice or noodles and a fresh

green vegetable.
