I’ve been making this for over 10 years and it is always a hit. Great with rice pilaf and Brussels sprouts.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 ¼ cups half-and-half
- 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Coat chicken breasts with the flour mixture. In a large skillet, brown the coated chicken in 1/4 cup of butter or margarine. Add the water, cover and let simmer covered for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
When chicken breasts are done simmering, remove from the skillet and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish; save drippings. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and half-and-half. Mix together and stir mixture into reserved drippings in skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook until thick and bubbly. Add mushrooms and lemon juice and stir together. Pour sauce over chicken and bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes
Step 4
Sprinkle with cheese and bake 3-5 minutes more until cheese melts.
