Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Whole egg, whisked
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) milk
• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) paprika
• 6 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, divided
• 0.5 Pounds (lb) fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 Cups yellow onion, minced
• 1 Cup chicken broth
• 0.5 Cup dry white wine
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh parsley, torn, for garnish

Steps

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and paprika. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the mushrooms and onion until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms and onions in the skillet.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 25 minutes. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Zesty Lemon Mushroom Chicken Piccata with a side of rice or a fresh green salad.
