Chicken with Pesto-Mushroom Cream Sauce

Currently cooking from The Best Simple Recipes from America’s Test Kitchen

I’m running out of superlatives for this cookbook. Here’s another extremely easy, extremely good recipe.

You start out by browning skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a skillet. Once the chicken is browned, you remove it to a plate and add a bunch of mushrooms to the empty skillet and cook them until browned. Then you add cream, chicken broth, garlic and the chicken breasts back into the skillet and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is done, you stir in pesto and lemon juice and serve, preferably over rice so none of the creamy, pesto-y sauce goes to waste. That’s it. Really.
