Lemon Chicken…but lighter!

There’s just something about chicken prepared in a lemon sauce. Growing up, I always loved Chicken Francaise, and lately I’ve been craving it on a daily basis. Wish I was kidding.

While this is no traditional Chicken Francaise, this WW Lighter Lemon Chicken definitely has the flavoring covered, featuring fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, garlic and fresh parsley. The mushrooms really top it off (literally) and it’s a dish that’s honestly been on repeat at home since my latest Weight Watcher’s restart!

myWW Lighter Lemon Chicken

Serves: 2 | Time: 30 min | SmartPoints: 3 Blue and Purple, 7 on Green | Personal Points vary by plan**

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced into 4 pieces
• 1 cup Swanson Chicken Broth
• 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 8 oz pre-sliced cremini mushrooms or more as desired
• 1 lemon
• dash of salt, pepper and garlic powder
• 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic chopped fine, more as desired
• 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Take each chicken breast and slice it in half into two thinner pieces, four total. In a medium sized bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper and garlic. Dip in each piece of chicken in the bowl to lightly coat.
2. In a medium sized pan, add 1 tsp of olive oil. Heat to medium-high heat. Sear each slice of chicken until golden brown on each side. Place seared chicken in an oven safe pan or dish (I used a Pyrex pan). Squeeze half of the lemon onto the chicken slices.
3. Add another tsp of oil to your pan, and cook the sliced mushrooms with salt, pepper and fresh garlic. Add chicken broth, the rest of the lemon juice, and fresh parsley to the pan to form the sauce. Pour sauce over chicken in pan, then cover the top of the pan with foil.
4. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees, then place the chicken pan in the oven for about 25-30 minutes (depending on your oven)

Enjoy! This recipe yields two slices of chicken per serving, and serves 2.
