Chicken in Herb Butter

A few nights ago, I made this awesome chicken dish for dinner.  It is very simple to make and only includes a handful of ingredients.  This is a wonderful twist on ordinary chicken.  The herbs add such freshness and flavor to this dish.



Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts pounded to about 1/4" to 1/2" in thickness and cut into fours
All purpose flour
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup white wine
1 cup mushrooms ( I used baby bella mushrooms)
fresh mint and parsley, about 1 tbsp. each
2 tbsp. butter
splash of lemon juice

Sautee mushrooms in 1 tbsp. butter.  Set aside.
Coat each piece of chicken in flour and top with salt and pepper.  Heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken about five minutes on each side until brown.  Remove chicken from pan and deglaze with wine.  Add 1 tbsp. butter, mushrooms, herbs and chicken.  Simmer for a few minutes.  Add a plash of lemon juice and serve over angle hair pasta or thin spaghetti.

Serves: 4
