Peppered Chicken With Lemon-mushroom-wine Sauce Recipe #116324
This is a recipe I have created for the RSC Contest for Winter 2005. I have made it a couple of times, modifying it some the second time. It is good served with pasta and vegetables. I hope you enjoy it. I think it will be low in calories also.
