This skillet lemon chicken recipe is a snap to fix and cook. It's perfect for dinner for your family but delicious enough to serve to guests. It is versatile to serve with sides such as hot buttered noodles or rice. Steamed or roasted vegetables will round out your meal, or start with a fresh green salad. You can use any mushrooms for this dish. The typical cultivated mushrooms you see in the grocery store are button or cremini mushrooms. When they mature, they are known as the portobello mushroom. But there are many more varieties and you may find wild mushrooms available at the farmers market in season. You can make this dish with one type of mushroom or a medley of varieties. Just be sure to saut them long enough so all are softened. While you could use canned mushrooms, you won't get the flavors that develop with cooking fresh mushrooms. Lemon pairs very well with chicken, as you can see in recipes such as chicken piccata with lemon and parsley. Chicken marsala is a similar recipe that is made without the lemon.
