Chicken in Lemon Shallot Sauce

I am always finding new ways to serve chicken. It's an easy protein and can handle so many different flavor combinations. It can accompany any type of cuisine which makes it the perfect protein to use when experimenting in the kitchen.

This sauce is equal parts delicate and zesty. It has garlic and lemon for punch, but it also has lightly flavored shallots, cream, and butter. In the words of Ina Garten, "How bad could that be?"

Trust me when I say you are going to love this sauce. It's so good, I could eat it right out of the pan with a spoon. The chicken is merely a vessel by which to get more sauce. In fact, I liked the shallot sauce so much, I made another version to serve with pork tenderloin!

While you could certainly serve this chicken a different way (mashed potatoes, pasta, etc.), I made a "bowl" out of it and served it on a bed of couscous, with sauteed mushrooms and Josie's Organic baby spinach. This created a fully balanced plate with protein, fat, carbs, and veggies. I use sauteed spinach wherever I can, it's such an easy veggie to prepare and tastes amazing. Not to mention the good it does our bodies.

The chicken and sauce are a one pan dinner situation, but because we are adding in the sides, a couple more pans are needed. Don't fret- you can use the same pan for both the spinach and mushrooms. And couscous is as easy as simmering stock, adding in the grain, and putting a lid on it with the heat turned off. All can easily come together while the chicken is finishing in the oven. Bada-bing bada-boom.
