Chicken Lombardy

Once it boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch and water to make a slurry.

Whisk this into the skillet sauce, and let it simmer another 1-2 minutes- until nicely thickened.

Remove the skillet from heat, and set aside.

What to Serve with Chicken Lombardy
Like chicken marsala, chicken Lombardy pairs amazingly with pasta.

It’s also so good with Creamy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, a salad, and garlic bread.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes!

To do it, prepare the chicken as directed but store the chicken and sauce separately in air tight containers in the fridge until you are ready to bake the dish.

Once you are ready to bake the dish, you will need to reheat the sauce and possibly thin it with a bit more chicken broth.

Then, assemble the casserole dish as directed above.

When ready bake at 450 until warmed through and the cheese melts and turns slightly golden brown.

Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in an oven safe dish in a hot oven until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
Don’t skip pounding the chicken. This tenderizes it and ensures it will cook properly. Plus it makes sure that you get the best chicken to sauce to cheese ratio in each bite!
You could add a clove of pressed garlic into the pan with the mushrooms for a little extra flavor.
If you serve this with pasta, I recommend using linguine, fettucine, or penne noodles. You want to avoid thinner pasta for this dish.

Cut each chicken breast evenly in half, lengthwise. One at a time, place a piece of chicken in between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten the breast out to a 1/4″ thickness. Repeat for all the pieces of chicken.
Melt the two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and saute for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Remove the cooked mushrooms to a waiting plate or bowl, and set aside.
