Chicken Cutlets With Creamy Mushroom Gravy

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is simple to make and so good! I have made it several times and plan on making it on a regular basis, we really enjoyed this chicken dish. Although it does not say to, I deglazed the pan with about 1/4 cup dry white wine after I browned the cutlets and transfered them to a plate, you can also deglaze with dry vermouth. If you don't care for garlic then leave it out."

I made this as part of the My Three Chefs challenge. This is a great recipe, the directions are easy to follow. I did have to make one minor change. I thought I had allspice but found out in the middle of getting the spices out that I was wrong. I used Tony's Creole Seasoning in place of the allspice. I used 6 boneless skinless chicken breast and found that while browining the chicken I had to add quite a bit more butter and oil to keep everything from burning. I cooked my chicken for longer than the 3-4 minutes becuase I am very picky about chicken and wanted to make sure it was pretty close to done (that could be why I had to add so much more butter and oil). I did deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of white wine before adding the mushrooms and onions. I did double the sauce oart so naturally I had to add more of the flour mixture to thicken it. I also added a couple of dashes of the Tony's and some garlic powder to the sauce. My daughter could not say enough about how wonderful it was. My husband is not much of a gravy person but he also loved this over the mashed potato (#148549) recipe I made along with this. This is a keeper.
