This is a keeper for sure! I was looking for a recipe to use up some baby portobellas and chicken breasts and found this one. I didn't have any white wine so I substituted chicken broth. It turned out great! We liked it so much that we're making it again next Sunday for a family dinner. Thanks! -
I was not a fan of this. I was looking for more flavor. I had to use chicken broth like another suggested since I had no wine, so that may have had something to do with it. Next time, I will sauté the onions and mushrooms and top a grilled breast with it and the cheese. I think grilling would really make this combination better. -
Excellent! I used Mozzarella and it was lovely! Will make again for sure. Served it over rice--everyone enjoyed it. Simple to prepare and good flavors! Thank you! -

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had.
Genuine Jersey Girl here. Lived here all my life with the exception of a short stint in the Bay Area/San Francisco. Married to the same guy for over 40 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
