How To Put It Together
- In the mixing bowl, combine the wine, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, lemon rind, lemon juice, thyme, black pepper, garlic and mustard.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the glass baking dish.
- Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken.
- Cover and marinate for 20 minutes, turning it once.
- In the meantime, heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in the frying pan on medium heat.
- Saute the mushrooms until brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
- Once the chicken has finished marinating, add it to the frying pan. Don't discard the marinade.
- Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the plate that the mushrooms are on.
- Add chicken stock and the marinade to the frying pan.
- Stir, scraping up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add the butter to the frying pan.
- Stir until melted.
- Add the capers.
- Return the mushrooms and chicken to the frying pan.
- Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Serve the chicken covered with mushrooms and pour some of the sauce over the top. It works very well over rice which soaks up the flavor from the sauce.
