Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• preheat oven to 400 degrees f (205 degrees c).
• pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. place the chicken breasts in the dish, coating each side with oil. squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each chicken breast. slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon slice on top of each chicken piece.
• bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
• melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. cook and stir until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. add chicken broth, stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. allow sauce to reduce, adjusting with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. add fresh parsley at the last minute. spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.
