    Lemon Chicken Artichoke Hearts and Mushrooms in white rectangle dish  

    Lemon juice and lemon zest combine with garlic, tarragon and other spices to create this heavenly Lemon Chicken, Artichoke Hearts and Mushrooms. The easy, flavorful recipe is a perfect dinner any time of the year. We love it for Easter, Mardi Gras, Sunday dinner-- anytime you want something special that doesn't require a lot of effort. 

    The flavors are fresh and bright -- artichokes, parsley, lemon, herbs and spices. Richness is added with a little half and half. Chicken tenders are lightly coated and seared, the result is a slightly crisp exterior and tender meat inside. Next they’re sprinkled generously with artichoke hearts and mushrooms, and covered in a velvety sauce and baked.

    This is a beautiful entree. It looks best while still in the pan, so serve buffet style or family style so everyone can enjoy it before serving. 

      

    Chicken Pieces

    Simply dredging chicken tenders in flour seasoned with Creole Seasoning (or salt and pepper) and lemon zest, gives them that extra "je ne sais quoi." Then you'll sear them in a skillet with a little olive oil over high heat for one minute on each side.

    Next, you nestle the tenders together in a baking pan and add sliced artichoke hearts and mushrooms.

    Sauce

    Use the same pan you seared the chicken in to make the sauce. Scrape up the bits from the pan and incorporate them into your "roux."

    Add butter to the pan, then add flour and heat gently, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.

    Stir the flour and fat until it begins to brown.

    Add lemon juice to the pan, then slowly add the chicken broth and half and half. Stir constantly. Next add tarragon, garlic, salt and pepper.

    Heat the sauce until it's smooth and begins to boil, then turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer five minutes.

    Pour the sauce over all the chicken, artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Finally you'll put the baking pan in the oven, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until chicken is done.

    Garnish

    Garnish with fresh parsley and fresh lemon, then serve it while warm over pasta or rice. We love a thin pasta like angel hair. It seems to hold the chicken and sauce just right, bite after bite. Everyone in our family loves Lemon Chicken, Artichoke Hearts and Mushrooms. We can eat it again, and again and .... You get the idea!

    Enjoy!
