Picked up some shrooms the other day because they had a really good sale. I threw them in the smoker not sure what would become of them.


Growing out of the smoker...


Smoked for about an hour then put into the fridge.
Next day I realized what I wanted to do. I love lemon chicken scallopini and it gets mushrooms with it so that was what I decided on.

Ingredients


I mixed some flour, salt and pepper together, pounded out a few chickens breasts, sliced into strips and coated in flour mixture.





Sauteed in a pan (med-high) with olive oil until browned. Once browned on one side I flipped and added in the mushrooms.





As it cooked I made up a mixture of
1/2T lemon juice
2t butter
1/2C heavy cream
1/2t thyme
salt and pepper


Once the chicken was browned I added half a can of chicken stock, juice of one lemon, 1/2C heavy cream, brought to a boil and added 3-4 artichoke hearts, quartered, and simmered for 10 minutes




At the same time I boiled some angel hair pasta and bacon in the oven



The bacon, oops, should have paid better attention, guess what my dog had for dinner?


So once I had the chicken simmered I removed it from the heat, added the cream mixture, placed pasta on a plate, added chicken, sauce and topped with (new) crumbled bacon.

I love most everything with pasta.
 
They had a great flavor.
Only tried smoking mushrooms once before and they were stuffed and I didn't smoke them cap down for a bit so a lot of the water pooled inside of them but these worked out great, I made sure to go light on the smoke while I had them in since mushrooms act like a sponge and could easily pick up too much smoke. Only thing that would have been even better would have been to grill the lemon for a minute or so before squeezing the juice out for even more flavor.
 
to prevent the water from pooling up in them when making stuffed shrooms, just make an x slash on bottom side of cap most of the way thru... water will drain.
