Bill's Favorite Lemon Mushroom Chicken With Herbs

Submitted by JackieOhNo!

"This is an old favorite of my boyfriend Bill's. It is somewhat like Chicken Francese, with the herbs giving it a great depth of flavor. It is quite easy to prepare, too."

directions

1. Place eggs in a shallow pie plate. In another pie plate, combine the flour, thyme, basil, parsley, paprika, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Coat chicken with beaten eggs, then dredge chicken in the flour mixture to coat, patting off any excess flour.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook chicken until no longer translucent. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, wine, lemon juice, and mushrooms; pour over chicken.
3. Cover skillet, and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Garnish with parsley, capers, and lemon zest.

Absolutely delicious!! You're right, the herbs really give it something special. I was worried at first that the sauce was going to be really thin but of course it thinckened a bit as it cooked and left just enough to spoon over rice. Thanks for posting this awesome dish, I will most definitely be making this often!
