This one is a real winner! This is by far the best chicken I have had the pleasure of cooking. The only change I made was I drank the rest of the wine instead of saving it. -
This was thoroughly enjoyed by the family. Followed the recipe to the T, didn't change a thing. Great and quick whip up. And it def hit the spot! thank you so much! -
A fantastic meal! I prefer to not use chicken breast since I find it a bit dry, so I lined the bottom of a pyrex dish with chicken thigh and then did the layer of ham and mushroom on top. Turned out fantastic and delicious! I was a little skeptical of the redwine since I find it rather sour added to dishes but it ended up tasting great. -
Very tasty chicken recipe! Easy to make. Chicken came out very tender. I added some shredded cheddar to the parmesan topping. Everyone liked it, even my picky toddler. Thanks Merlot for posting:) -
YUM! I just love all of these flavors together! I didn't have a jar of mushrooms, so I cut up a bunch of fresh ones instead and suteed them first. Wonderful and easy dinner that I can't wait to make again! Thanks Merlot!!!

Excellent! Made a couple of adjustments due to ingredients available. Pork cutlets instead of chicken, deli ham slices, fresh mushrooms and cooking sherry instead of the wine to the sauce. Added a touch of chicken stock to think it. Really, really good. A definite keeper. Thanks Merlot!

Delicious 5 star dish!!! We all loved it!!! I made some minor changes. I flattened my chicken breast before I coated them with the flour and pepper. I used olive oil and butter. Instead of canned mushrooms, I sauteed about 10 crimini's and a small shallot in the chicken pan. I used about 1/2 cup of vegetable broth in place of the mushroom liquid. For the wine, I used some White Zinfandel. I am glad I did not salt this as the Parmesan cheese added just the right taste for us. This will be on our table regularly, for sure! Thank you Merlot for sharing this wonderful recipe!! JT'sMom :)

This is wonderful and so quickly put together, that it could be used as an afterwork entree easily. I subbed fresh mushrooms sauted in butter for the jarred and since I did not have the liquid from the jarred mushrooms I subbed about 1/3 c chicken broth. I also used chicken tenders instead of breasts, but not much difference there. The chicken has such flavor, I love the different sensations, the chicken was moist, the ham added a smokey flavor, the mushrooms added some additional flavor and moisture, the cheese some chewiness, and the wine a subtle sweetness. It was wonderfully balanced. I ate mine wine just veg, but to me this screams for rice pilaf. I will make this often, thank you for sharing Merlot. -
Merlot, this is a fantastic recipe....it's so quick and easy to prepare and it's so delicious. The only changes I made were to add a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper to the flour and instead of parmesan cheese I used grated swiss cheese.The only sweet wine I had on hand was Sangria, which I was leery of using, but it turned out great!! Thanks for another great recipe Merlot.

This was just such a wonderful dinner tonight. I did make a few changes to the recipe however... I used skin-on chicken thighs instead of breasts, and dry white wine instead of sweet, also I added some fresh garlic, and added 3 cans of mushrooms, as I doubled this recipe. This is a delicious chicken recipe, which I will make again, I recommend this highly. Thanks so much Merlot for sharing, we enjoyed this very much...Kitten :)

Now, a little about me . . .
It's hard to believe I've been a member for over 7 years now! Once I discovered Zaar, I never looked back at the other sites. This place is truly like family, sitting around sharing great recipes, helpful hints and just chit-chatting about our daily lives.
Hubby and I were fortunate enough to be able to retire early and now enjoy traveling in our motorhome :) . Our travels have taken us all over this great country of ours and meeting new and exciting people along the way is an extra bonus. We are blessed. We usually alternate between Florida Keys and Arizona for the winters. The rest of the year, you can find us just about any place. We love our home on the lake, but there is a bit of gypsy in us both and we hit the road as much as we possibly can.

I guess my biggest pet peeve is people who are negative all the time. Because I enjoy life so much, I try to avoid such people. Life is too short.
