I am having a hard time adjusting to being an "empty nester". The only good thing is that I can make things the girls hate, like mushrooms! This delicious creamy lemony chicken is prepared in a skillet and sautéed with mushrooms. This is pretty much a chicken piccata, but without capers and with mushrooms.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 30 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves

¼ cup plus 2 teaspoons flour, divided

salt, to taste

2In a large resealable plastic bag, combine ¼ cup flour, salt, and lemon pepper.
