Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season chicken strips with sea salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Coat chicken in flour and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onion, sauté over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet, then whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add chicken broth, lemon juice, and half and half. Let simmer until thick, about 5 minutes.
  4. Layer sautéed vegetables over chicken strips in casserole dish, pour sauce evenly over the top. Cover with foil.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake casserole for 45 minutes. Remove foil during last 5-10 minutes to let it bubble and brown.
