This Creamy Herb Chicken is SO easy to make and has the most flavorful cream sauce that’s perfect with roasted or mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Your family will love this easy dinner recipe with chicken breast or thighs.

Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5 lbs.
• Salt/Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

• 1 cup chicken broth
• 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
• ¾ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Seasonings

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Fresh Parsley, to garnish, optional

Instructions

Dredge/Sear the Chicken

• Slice the chicken into 2-3 thinner slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer if needed, the chicken will plump up more when cooked. Aim for ½ inch thick slices. Pat completely dry.

• Lightly sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dredge in flour and tap off excess.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 pieces of chicken, leaving room around each. Sauté for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust has developed. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of chicken.

• Pro Tips: Make slight adjustments to the heat, (up or down), as needed during cooking. Add an additional splash of olive oil if needed throughout cooking. Try to leave the chicken undisturbed as it cooks to get a nice crusty sear.

Make the Sauce

• Turn the heat off and remove any excess oil along with any black remnants, but leave the brown bits in the pan. (This is called “fond” and will give the sauce plenty of flavor.)
• Add the chicken broth and seasonings: ( 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp mustard powder, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano.)
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream of chicken soup followed by the sour cream, milk, and 2 tsp. lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and combined.

Add the Chicken Back and Serve

• Add the chicken back and spoon sauce over the top. Let heat through for 5 minutes or so. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve!

Notes

• Nutrition facts assume that all of the flour is used.
• Consider using low sodium cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to control the sodium content.

---

Storage:

• Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

---

Pro Tips:

• Alternative herb options include dried rosemary, thyme, parsley, and sage.
• If using smaller chicken breasts, consider using 3-4 instead of 2 large.
• 1 cup heavy cream can be used instead of sour cream/milk if needed. Consider letting it bubble gently and reduce for up to 10 minutes to thicken before adding the chicken back.
• Feel free to make my homemade cream of chicken soup for this recipe if desired!
• BACON! Feel free to cook 6 strips of thick-cut bacon low and slow in the skillet. Remove and save the drippings. Wipe the pan clean and cook the chicken in the drippings for more flavor. Roughly chop the crispy bacon and sprinkle on top before serving.
• Parmesan Cheese: You may also choose to sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese in with the flour mixture for the chicken for adding flavor.

Delicious Mongolian Beef Recipe is made with juicy beef strips, sauteed bell peppers and onion all coated in a delicious savory sauce. It’s best served over hot steamed rice.

Ingredients

Mongolian Beef Ingredients

• 2 lb beef stew tips, flank steak, New York strip steak (extra fat trimmed), cut against the grain into thin strips
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup neutral oil
• 4 stalks green onion, green part only, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 3 bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 large onion cut into 1/4 rings

Mongolian Beef Sauce Ingredients

• 2 tsp ginger powder (or double the amount if using fresh grated ginger)
• 4-5 garlic cloves , minced
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (add more or less for desired spiciness)

Instructions

How to make Mongolian Beef

1- In a ziplock bag combine the 1/2 cup cornstarch and 2 lb of cut into strips, close it and shake for the beef strips to be fully and evenly coated in cornstarch.

2- Preheat a large skillet over high heat, then add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Next, add 3 cut up bell peppers and quickly cook them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often. As soon as the bell peppers are browned slightly, remove them to a separate bowl.

Do not overcook them, they should still have a bit of a bite to them.Lastly, tilt the skillet to the side and remove the bell peppers to a separate bowl, leaving the oil behind.

3- Add the onions to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes, just trying to char up the sides. Add more oil if needed. Tilt the skillet and remove the onion to the bowl with peppers, leaving the oil behind.

4- Next, add the rest of the oil and add the beef strips, shaking off the excess of cornstarch and cook in a single layer in batches for about 1 minute per side. Transfer the cooked beef to a separate bowl. Do not overcrowd the pan. Beef needs to be seared, not cooked in its own juices. Keep adding the oil as needed after cooking each batch.

Mongolian Beef Sauce

1. Drain off the remaining oil from the skillet leaving the stuck on beef bits.Next add 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp of ginger powder and the 4 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and let it come to a boil, scraping off the bits off the bottom of the skillet.Boil for about 1-2 minutes to reduce the sauce. Then, add Sriracha sauce if desired.

Bring everything together

1. Add the beef back into the sauce and stir to coat it in the sauce. Allow to come to a boil, which should thicken the sauce. Next add the bell peppers, cooked onion, and the green onion stalks and stir to heat through.

4- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Until the meat is cooked and tender.

5- When the meat has finished cooking, preheat the oven to 400F. Spread the butter on the hoagie buns and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake until they begin to get golden and toasted around the edges, about 5 minutes.

6- Remove the hoagie buns from the oven and fill each one with beef mixture. Place slices of provolone cheese on the beef in each bun and return them to the oven until the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

NOTES

1- Depending on how quickly you need this recipe to be done, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours, however I have found that the meat is most tender when cooked on low for 6-8 hours.

• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. (Optional: Slice the spinach into strips before cooking it if smaller pieces are preferred.)Add the spinach and toss to coat. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Set aside and let cool.

Notes

Pro Tips:

• Boil extra shells in case some break during the boiling or draining process.
• The spinach is optional but adds a nice touch! Frozen spinach may also be used, be sure to let it thaw and pat it dry. 
• To incorporate meat into the mix, make this with my meat sauce recipe instead of regular marinara.
• Shred the cheese from a block instead of using packaged shredded cheese. It will melt and taste much  better.
• Low moisture whole milk mozzarella melts the best in this recipe.
• I love to use Dragone for the mozzarella, BelGioioso for the Parmesan, and Philadelphia for the cream cheese. 
• Rao’s is my go-to brand for marinara sauce, (it’s really good)!
• This recipe makes about 18 shells and has 6 servings. Nutritional facts are based on 3 shells per person.

This Lemon Chicken recipe has a Creamy, flavorful sauce with a hint of tang! BONUS: There is plenty of sauce in this recipe to pair this with pasta.

Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Lemon pepper seasoning
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Sauce

• ½ cup dry white wine, like chardonnay or pinot grigio
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth
• ¾ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
• 1 chicken bouillon
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated. See notes.
• 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons cold salted butter, Optional

For Serving

• 3/4 lb. spaghetti, optional

To Garnish

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• Freshly sliced lemon

Instructions

Cut, Pound, Dredge, and Sear the Chicken:

• 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.

Prepare the Sauce:

• 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.

To Serve with Pasta:

• 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!

Notes

If your chicken breasts are small, consider using 4 instead of 2 for this recipe.

---

Pro Tips:

• Parmesan Cheese: I use Belgioioso Parmesan cheese in this recipe and put 1 cup in the sauce. Some Parmesan cheese varieties may have a stronger taste, consider adding 1/2 cup at first, then add more if desired.
• Use the meat tenderizer to create a textured surface on the chicken. This gives the breading something to cling onto, which also gives you a nice sear. Pounding the chicken also makes it more tender.
• Chicken plumps up more when cooked so don’t be afraid to pound it thin.
• Fresh lemon juice is much more flavorful than bottled.
• Use fresh garlic (vs. jarred) if possible.
• Redmond Real Salt lemon pepper seasoning is my favorite brand for seasoning this chicken, it also contains sea salt and has a lot of great flavor.
• Capers and/or spinach can be added to the sauce at the end of cooking if desired.
• 1/2 Cup chicken broth and 1 Tbsp. butter can be used instead of white wine if needed.
• Be sure to serve this with my easy Roasted Asparagus!
