We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Season chicken with salt and pepper, and dredge both sides in flour.

  • Step 2: Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add chicken and saute until golden. Work in batches if needed so you don’t crowd your pan. Don’t worry about cooking the chicken through; it still needs to go in the oven.

  • Step 3: Transfer chicken to a 9 X 13 inch casserole baking dish.

  • Step 4: Wipe down the skillet with a paper towel. Add 3 tablespoons oil along with sliced mushrooms and diced onions, and saute until soft and golden.

  • Step 5: Add garlic and saute another 1-2 minutes. Spread mixture over the chicken.

  • Step 6: In a medium saucepan (or in the same pan you’ve been using), melt 3 tablespoons butter.

  • Step 7: Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour until lightly golden (1-2 minutes).

  • Step 8: Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and whisk until smooth.

  • Step 9: Add 1 cup Half and Half, and bring to a simmer.

  • Step 10: Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  • Step 11: Pour sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.

  • Step 12: Cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees F, for 45 minutes.

  • Step 13: Serve warm or hot over mashed potatoes, pasta or rice.
