The mushrooms, wine and lemon juice do not make a sauce! You will have to saute the mushrooms and then add some broth or milk along with the wine and lemon. Otherwise, it is just chicken with mushroom topping

Made exactly as directed. I was very disappointed as there was no sauce as there just wasn't enough liquid in this recipe. The chicken was flavourful but then chicken always is. I reread to make sure I didn't screw up but followed directions to a T. Sorry, it wasn't worth the effort.

Fabulous! We really adored this chicken tonight. I guess I changed the cooking technique slightly -- I pan fried the chicken breasts in olive oil after coating them in the breadcrumbs to get them nicely browned. Removed them to the baking dish and sauteed the mushrooms, green onions and spices, and deglazed the pan with the white wine and lemon juice. Spooned the mushroom mixture over the chicken breasts and baked it all, as directed, for about 35 minutes. The chicken was flavored to perfection (without salt, mind you!) and the texture was excellent, with the succulent mushrooms to accompany. Wow! Did we love this!! Serving this savory chicken dish with a brown-sugar-and-butter-crusted sweet potato casserole made for one heck of a great dinner. This chicken recipe is one for the ages. Five stars all the way! (P.S. I didn't need an entire cup of breadcrumbs; also, I dipped the chicken breasts in buttermilk instead of evaporated skim milk.)
