In under 30 minutes you can have this stunning and delicious meal for you and yours. The chicken is seared and browned to create a crispy exterior and maintain a juicy interior. Then comes the addition of the mascarpone, cream, lemon, and chive mixture to create this instant melt in your mouth silky smooth and herby oniony sauce. The chicken cooks in the mascarpone and the entire skillet gets a finishing layer of fresh parmigiano and in the oven for a crispy top! Oh my heavens, this dish is sensational!
