2. Add remaining oil to skillet and cook mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes. stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, broth, and chicken in to skillet, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to a boil. reduced heat to low cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

3. transfer chicken to serving platter and tent with foil. return skillet to high heat and simmer until sauce s thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat stir in pesto and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve.
