Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds)
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced thin
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
¼ basil pesto
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (fresh is really better in this recipe!)
Directions
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and tent with foil.
- Add remaining oil to skillet and cook mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, broth, and chicken to skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooled through, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to serving platter and tent with foil. Return to skillet to high heat and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in pesto and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve.
Hints
- Be sure to use fresh or refrigerated pesto rather than the jarred variety in this recipe.

4 garlic cloves minced
1 (10-oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon grated zest and 2 teaspoons juice from 2 limes.
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro.
Directions
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 Tblspoons butter in large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Cook chicken until golden, about 3 min per side, transfer to plate (chicken won't be cooked through yet).
- Add jalapeno and garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in tomatoes and broth and bring to boil. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet and simmer, covered, over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
