An easy to fix dish in one skillet. It tastes even better the next day. You can serve it on your favorite pasta. I like it over penne or bowtie noodles. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped |
3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken meat, large dice |
1 1/2 cups quartered fresh button mushrooms |
2/3 cup dry white wine or 2/3 cup chicken broth |
1/3 cup chicken broth |
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add onion and garlic, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring rarely, until well browned on all sides, about 12 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until slightly broken down, about 5 minutes.
2. Add wine if using if not using wine add total 1 cup of chicken broth, , and the 1/4 cup lemon juice if using dried basil leaves add at this time and mix well and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Cook until alcohol smell is cooked off and sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes . Remove from heat, stir in basil leaves if using fresh and lemon zest and serve over your favorite pasta.
