Made this twice over the past weeks and it was very tasty. I used cremini mushrooms and added in some garlic while I was cooking the mushrooms and onions. I also tried adding a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach and that worked well too!

This tasted good, but my sauce turned out pretty dark and VERY thick. Though, I just realized my error: I used 2 TABLESPOONS of cornstarch, instead of 2 teaspoons. Definitely will try this again. I mean, it tasted fine! heh... Your picture sure looks good, though. :)

This is a very easy and low fat dish. I forgot to flatten my breasts so I just pan fried til lightly browned then placed them on a baking paper lined tray and finished the cooking in the oven while I made the sauce. Thanks for a 'keeper' for me.

I made this last night for dinner and it was a definite winner ! So easy to put together....I didn't have any chicken broth or sherry so I substituted white wine and added a tsp. of dijon mustard. YUM ! Hubby and I gobbled this down in no time. I served this with brown rice and broccoli. De-li-cious! Thanks for a great recipe !
