Chicken with Mushrooms

Last week I cooked dinner for my family and Luke (Alison's boyfriend). I went searching for a new recipe and found this one. It was delicious with a few changes. I served it with angel hair pasta, fried okra (really I just saute it in olive oil), peas, and fresh tomatoes. It was so good. Hope you like it too.

Chicken with Mushrooms

3 cups of sliced mushrooms
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup season bread crumbs
2 T butter
6 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
3/4 cup chicken broth (plus a can of the cream of chicken and mushroom soup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Brown the mushrooms in a little olive oil. One secret I learned from the movie "Julia & Julie" is don't crowd the mushrooms in the skillet if you want them to brown. Works.

Place half of the mushrooms in the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. Dip the chicken breast in beaten eggs, then roll in bread crumbs. My bread crumbs were not seasoned so I just added some seasoning to them.

Brown chicken in skillet with melted butter. Place chicken on top of mushrooms and arrange remaining mushrooms on chicken. I mix the soup and chicken broth together and poured around the chicken.

Bake for 35-45 minutes and top with mozzarella the last 10 minutes.

Enjoy.
