Lemon-Mushroom-Herb Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and coat them with the mixture. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces, along with the marinade, and cook for 10 minutes, flipping the chicken pieces halfway through. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
