Instructions
-
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
- Rub the chicken breasts with lemon juice and season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
- Heat the butter in a heavy, oven-proof casserole, about 10 inches in diameter until it is foaming.
-
- Stir in the minced shallots or green onion and saute a moment without browning.
-
- Then stir in the mushrooms and sauté lightly for a minute or two without browning. Season with salt.
-
- Quickly roll the chicken in the butter mixture and lay a piece of buttered wax paper over them. Cover the casserole and place in the hot oven.
-
- After 8 to 10 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 8 minutes in the oven.
-
- Alternatively, brown chicken fillets on each side until golden, then cover and place into a preheated oven to continue cooking for a further 8 minutes until cooked through.
-
- Remove the chicken to a warm platter (leave mushrooms in the pot) and cover while making the sauce.
To make sauce:
-
- Pour the stock and wine in the skillet with the mushrooms. Boil down quickly over high heat until liquid has reduced to half.
-
- Add in the cream cheese, breaking it down with your wooden spoon.
-
- Cook over low heat until it turns into a thick cream. Gradually add in the evaporated milk, stirring through the cream cheese until thickened.
-
- Take off heat and taste for seasoning. Squeeze over a little extra lemon juice to taste. Add in the broccoli and pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
