This is very delicious and easy to make! Pairing it with simple roasted potatoes (as I did in the video) is highly recommended :) Enjoy!

Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts
~1 T. lemon juice
~1/4 tsp. salt
6 T. butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
8 oz. cremini (or button) mushrooms, sliced
1/2 c. chicken stock
200g crème fraîche
~1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
fresh chopped parsley (curly or flat), to taste
Directions:
1. Prepare the chicken breasts: pat them dry, then rub the lemon juice all over/into them. Season with salt, then place in fridge for 2 hours.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has started to soften (~3-4 min).
3. Add the mushrooms to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for around 4-5 min, until mushrooms have softened but not browned.
4. Transfer onion and mushroom mixture to a bowl, using a slotted spoon.
5. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for around 6-7 min per side, possibly more, depending on thickness of cut, until they are cooked completely through.
6. Transfer the mushroom mixture back to the pan. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine, scraping bottom as you do so.
7. Add the crème fraîche to the pan and stir to combine. Season with pepper and parsley, stir to combine. Let cook for around 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld.
8. Serve with desired side and enjoy!
