Lemon Chicken In Savory Champagne Sauce Food

CREAMY LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Slice the chicken in half to create 2 thinner slices. Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag (or in between saran wrap) and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick.
• Season with lemon pepper seasoning. You may also season with salt if desired, the Redmond Real Salt brand of lemon pepper seasoning that I use already contains sea salt.
• Combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder, on a large plate. Set aside.
• Pat the chicken dry and dredge each side in the flour mixture. Tap off excess.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside and leave brown remnants in the pan.
• Add the wine and garlic. Set heat to medium. Bubble gently for about 4 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" any remaining brown flecks on the pan while the wine reduces and incorporate it into the liquid for more flavor.
• Add the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, and mustard powder. Bring to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes or so, to thicken and concentrate the flavor. Reduce heat to low.
• Add the heavy cream slowly, stirring continuously.
• Stir in the lemon juice and slowly sprinkle in the Parmesan, stirring continuously, until combined. Add the chicken back and let the chicken warm through.
• Optional: Swirl in 2 Tbsp. cold butter to give the sauce a smooth, velvety finish.
• Boil up to 3/4 lb. of spaghetti once the chicken is added back to the sauce. Drain.
• Remove chicken and set on serving plates. Use kitchen tongs to add the spaghetti to the pot with the sauce until your desired sauce/pasta ratio is obtained. Toss to coat. (OR, serve this with my easy Buttered Noodles.)
• Garnish with parsley and lemon slices and serve!
