Braised Chicken & Mushrooms

4 chicken breasts
1 T olive oil
1 T butter
16 oz mushrooms
4 cloves garlic
4 oz white wine OR lemon juice (about 2 lemons)*
8 oz chicken broth OR 2 Tbsp butter*

Salt and pepper chicken. Heat oil and butter in pan until lightly browned. Saute chicken 2-3 min on each side or until browned. Set aside. Add mushrooms and garlic to pan; sprinkle with salt. Cook, covered, on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove lid and cook on high 4-5 minutes, until liquid is gone. Add white wine/lemon juice; cook on high 1 minute. Add chicken broth/butter and stir in. Return chicken to pot; cover and cook on low 15 minutes.

*lemon juice plus butter will make a very flavorful lemon butter sauce;
*white wine plus chicken broth will make a subtle, thinner sauce

Here is a similar recipe from Martha using lemons and butter:
