This recipe is quick and easy to make, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The rich flavors of the sauce complement the juicy chicken perfectly, making it a crowd-pleasing dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
  9. Serve the Chicken Veronica hot with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes.
  10. Enjoy!
