Directions

Hi all-- I'm new to this list and I have been enjoying it so far. Hopefully I'm not repeating a recipe which has already appeared, but I thought I'd share the following, which is a recipe I got from a regional cookbook called Southern Sideboards which is put out by a Junior League group in Missouri, I think. I have made some changes to it to make it healthier, though.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high heat. Coat chicken breasts thoroughly with pepper and flour. Brown chicken breasts in oil on both sides. (About 6-10 minutes.) Remove chicken to a plate and cover. Add onions and garlic to skillet. Sautee about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to skillet. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 1 hour (or more) until done. Serve over white rice.
