Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons Lesley Elizabeth Herbes de Provence
½ teaspoon coarse salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons Lesley Elizabeth Avocado Oil, separated
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into halves
½ lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
Whisk the Sauce Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, white wine, flour, Lesley Elizabeth Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Sear the Chicken: Lightly coat chicken breasts with breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of Lesley Elizabeth Avocado Oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Sauté the Veggies: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of Avocado Oil to the skillet. Stir in the green beans and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Simmer to Perfection: Return chicken and any resting juices back to the pan. Pour the broth mixture evenly over the top. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
