Preparation steps

1.
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2.
Clean, stem and slice any large mushrooms; set aside.
3.
Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat completely dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour; shaking off any excess flour. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to an oven-proof baking dish.
4.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with the mushrooms, garlic and onions. Saute over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Increase heat to high, add the wine and reduce the liquid by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the heavy cream and creme fraiche, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer until the mixture starts to thicken, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5.
Pour the cream sauce over the chicken and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6.
Divide rice and chicken between plates and spoon the cream sauce over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with finely chopped dill. Serve immediately.
