Company Chicken

Another all time favorite. My notes say "this is the lower-fat version of the Bon Appetit recipe, cut from 68g to 8g. fat." But I looked online and can't find the original recipe. I also show it to be more than 8 g. fat. Whatever, it's worth it. This has changed so much it's mine now anyway.

Last night I made my own breadcrumbs. I had some hardened bread crusts from another recipe and just ground them up (food processor) with some Italian seasoning, dried garlic and dried onion and it was perfect.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 whole boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces fresh mushrooms -- sliced
2 ounces muenster cheese -- sliced
1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine

Heat oven to 350°. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Dredge in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in large non-stick skillet. Add chicken and cook until just brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Transfer to glass baking dish. In same skillet cook mushrooms (and a little of the broth if needed) until soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Spoon mushrooms over chicken. Top with cheese. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.


While the chicken is baking, add remaining broth and wine to skillet. Boil scraping up any browned bits in the pan. With about ten minutes left on the chicken take it out of the oven and pour the reduced sauce over the chicken.
