Delicious!!! I did do things differently, as I cut the recipe in half using 1 lb of chicken breast cutlets and made it all in one pan. I first mixed the flour with seasoned salt and pepper, than added the chicken to coat. I browned the chicken, then removed to plate, then added the shallots(which I sliced and only used one of) and sliced portabella mushrooms, then added lemon juice and wine and brought to a boil. I then added the broth and a mixture of the flour and water to it. The chicken was then added back to the pan and when temperature was lowered added the cream. This is so yummy, DS went back for seconds. Served this over linguine along with homemade bread and green beans. Thanks Sharon for a lovely recipe.

    Whats not to like about this? Wow. Wonderful chicken dish. I love the shallots and the addition of the cream sauce over the top. It was a nice change of pace for us. We used chicken breasts. Thanks Sharon, this is a keeper.

    This is a beautiful recipe. I served this over mashed potatoes and the sauce/gravy was a perfect match. I do think that you could halve the sauce amounts and still have enough. I also did not use the full amount of shallots, using about 4 sliced. I wasn't sure when to add the green onions so I threw it into the sauce. I did love the flavor and will definitely make it again with the few minor adjustments. Thank you!!

    This was absolutely gorgeous!!! I was so lucky as we are coming into autumn here, all the wild mushrooms are on the shelves, so I made a wild mushroom mix. It was totally omg moreish, both hubby and I loved the sauce. I served over pasnip mash with fresh vegetables. As with some other reviewers, I added garlic too and I also only used 1 large shallot as I was only making for 2. I also cooked in the same pan, browned the chicken, removed and then cooked mushrooms, shallot and garlic, added wine, lemon juice and stock and returned chicken, simmered for 15 Min's, before adding remaining ingredients. A superb recipe and a definite winner and a company worthy dish. Thanks Sharon
