"Recipe from Great Good Food Lucious Lower-Fat Cooking by Julie Russo."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, and split in half
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb thinly sliced mushroom
• 1⁄2 cup thinly sliced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄4 cup madeira wine
• 1⁄4 cup low-fat sour cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the bottom of a 8 x 8-inch baking dish with vegetable or canola oil. Place the breasts in the dish in one layer.
3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, place 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon, and distribute evenly over the chicken. Add the remaining oil to the skillet; saute the onion and garlic until transparent, about 4 minutes, and place over mushrooms.
4. Combine the wine and sour cream; pour over the chicken.
5. Discard the oil and wipe the skillet clean with paper towel. Melt the butter in the skillet; add the crumbs and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the chicken breasts. Cover the dish with foil, and bake for exactly 1 hour. Serve immediately.

We found this to be rather bland.

A keeper for sure but I will try white wine as I prefer that to red but hubby liked the red.

This is so tasty. And the smell was so good :) The chicken breasts I got were small so after 50 minutes, it was ready and I forgot to split them in half. I used dry white wine instead of madeira wine. I was about to put sour cream, but unfortunately, it was frozen and it was in the fridge. So I omitted it and I think it was better. Thanks Cookiedog :) Made for Beverage tag.

This was very tasty and easy to make. I didn't have any mushrooms(mine were bad) or the maderia wine. I subbed a dry white wine for the maderia. I will be making this again and making sure I use mushrooms too next time. Thanks for posting.
