I do not recommend this recipe. It was extremely bland. It needs some seasonings to give it flavor. I wasted $24 on ingredients to make it.

Can't upload pictures don't have Facebook. But... this was delicious. Only thing I can say is that the breading gets mushy and my husband doesn't like that but the flavor was great

Tried it as written and loved it! THEN I changed it up a little bit....yum! I used chicken tenders, added some Parmesan Cheese to the bread crumbs, used half snow cap and half mini portobello sliced for the mushrooms and lastly deglazed the pan with the chicken stock before adding to the pan!

We really enjoyed this chicken. I used a mixture of button, shiitake and portobello mushrooms which gave the dish a rather rich quality. Also added a layer of sliced garlic as suggested in another review. I think a variety of cheeses would work well with this recipe, DH suggested hot pepper! Thanks

This was positively delicious! For such a short list of ingredients, the end result is a fantastic and flavorful dish. I really love mushrooms, and I thought they were a perfect addition to this dish. Thanks for a great recipe, Muffin Goddess. Made for 2014 Culinary Quest (Italy)
