Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Zest and juice one lemon and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.

4. Add the sliced onions, minced garlic, chili (if using), and bay leaves to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cherry tomatoes. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook through, about 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

7. Serve the lemon garlic chicken over a bed of shredded lettuce. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and enjoy!

Special Tips or Variations:

- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if preferred.

- Feel free to customize the mushroom medley with your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary.
