Ingredients
  • ¾ cup heavy cream, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup sherry
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
  1. Add ½ cup heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chicken pieces to a large resealable plastic bag. Make sure the chicken is coated in the mixture. Put the bag in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add the cooking oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mushrooms and carrots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add butter to the skillet, once melted add the chopped shallot. Cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the flour to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, then add in the wine, sherry, chicken broth and remaining ¼ cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken and the peas to the skillet. Simmer, stirring often, until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
  6. Remove from heat and serve over pasta, rice, or biscuits.
