Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).1

Pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.Place the chicken breasts in the dish, coatingeach side with oil. Squeeze the juice of 1/2lemon over each chicken breast. Slice the restof the lemon and place a lemon slice on top ofeach chicken piece.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pinkin the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40minutes. An instant-read thermometer insertedinto the center should read at least 165 degreesF (74 degrees C).

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; addmushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms arebrown and liquid is evaporated, about 6minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms andstir until coated. Add chicken broth, stirring tomake a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce toreduce, adjusting with a little more broth tomake a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at thelast minute. Spoon the sauce over the bakedchicken breasts.
