This recipe is very different from others I have seen. I do not find a keeper too often. Very elegant to look at, very good to taste, but is rich. I have made a couple of minor changes. This great recipe has been in my back stash. since 10-03. It was sumitted to allrecipes, by Doreen.

ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter (divided)
- 1⁄2 cup onion (minced)
- 8 large mushrooms (sliced med thin)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup chicken stock
- 1⁄2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 cup white wine
- 1 1⁄2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons flour; sauté a few minutes more. Stir in stock, celery salt, white pepper and white wine.
- Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and well blended, about 10 minutes.
- Mix 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese into the thickened sauce mixture and stir until melted; set aside.
- In a shallow bowl mix flour, salt & pepper.
- Dredge chicken in flour mixture to coat.
- (Make sure chicken is dry--I put between paper towels).
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet (cast iron is good). Have butter very hot--you just want to slightly brown (DO NOT OVER COOK).
- Arrange chicken in baking dish and cover with sauce.
- Top chicken and sauce with remaining 1 cup cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
- I put the pepper flakes in the broth.
- Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Yum! This was a pretty simple dish to throw together and tasted great. Next time I would add a little Kitchen Bouquet to the sauce to give it a deeper color. Made as directed and we enjoyed it. Thanks Dolores. Made for PAC Fall 2008.
