This is a terrific recipe. I used one big chicken breast and it made dinner for us both. It tastes lovely and is easy to make. The one thing that I didn't care for is that the mushrooms (I used sliced buttons because I had them) make a LOT of liquid and even after an extra 8 mins in the oven was still a lot. I added some dried thyme to the pan before putting it in the oven and skipped the parm because DH doesn't care much for it. It was great to just take the pan out to the deck and we served ourselves from it (dinner didn't get cold while I took pix!). Thanks ellie :D.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
