Chicken Breast With Portabella Mushrooms

Submitted by Shannon Fernekes

"I got tired of the typical chicken dinners, so I found this in an "All Chicken" cookbook. Although, I did make a few minor changes. If you like mushrooms, this is a great recipe for you. Pasta works as a great side dish."

This is a great recipe, it just isn't for me. I should have omitted the parmesan cheese. I did use onions instead of shallots. My servings were half of a breast, so this would serve eight people. I also added garlic to the onions and mushrooms. I used 1/4 slice of provolone cheese on each serving and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.

Wonderful aroma and taste. My husband raved about this dish and wants me to make it again. Even though the breading is very light, it tastes like stuffing. Yum. Made my own bread crumbs using Italian Herb Seasoning. Will try Melba Snack Crackers for the crumbs next time. Have read they are excellent for a crumb coating on chicken.
