Chicken and Mushrooms in a Lemon Sauce

"An easy to fix dish in one skillet. It tastes even better the next day. You can serve it on your favorite pasta. I like it over penne or bowtie noodles. I made several changes including substituting mushrooms for the artichokes to a lemon chicken with artichoke heart recipe from Food Network"

  1. Made with wine option. Think taste is fine-garlic right amount so often recipes overdo the garlic-- but color is brown, my pic makes it look too red but it is brown. My plate affected colors. Surprised me that recipe was brown-the sauteing of onion in first part is part of that. Simple to do though. Made for Spring PAC 2012. Thank you for sharing, rliang.
     
  2. I really liked the flavour of this chicken. I used white wine and dried basil. The wine was very nice but I think I'd opt for fresh basil next time. Easy to prepare and very tasty on spaghetti. Thanks for the recipe! Made for PAC Spring 2012
