Do you like white meat or dark meat when it comes to chicken?

This recipe is out of this world. I made it for the first time a couple weeks ago. This one is a definite keeper. It turned out fantastic and directions were so easy to follow. Thanks for a great recipe I will use over and over again

It was delicious! My family loved it.  There wasn't enough sauce, however. Next time I'll triple the sauce and use 12 oz mushrooms. I warmed the cream and didn't have any curdling. Added cornstarch to thicken sauce but don't think that was really necessary. Served it with pasta and peas on side.

This is amazing. I used the suggestion to add a couple tablespoons of the hot liquid to the cold cream. Also used ginger ale instead of white wine or cider vinger ( didn’t have any). I would add 1/2 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cream for more liquid. I like lots. It was soooo good. I added some adobo for extra flavor. This will go into the family cookbook.

Leave the lemon out! We would no doubt give this four or five stars without the lemon.

I’m 15 and was able to make this for my mom and dad! We all loved it and agreed we’d have to make it again!

This is perfect the way it is . Been stuck inside here with this virus thing floating around so i had to substitute some things for lobys and steamers but it takes up the same space on a plate , sooooo

My family loved it! very easy and tasty...

When adding the cream it curdled somewhat. Nice flavor but I’ve had better. Would like to ya e had the calories for this dish as my husband always keeps count. Also to help recipe I added capers- which really helped the dish

This is so GOOD!!!

I have made this twice and the second time I just couldn't get the sauce to thicken.....I was afraid to cook it any longer for fear there wouldn't be any sauce left....any suggestions on how to thicken it??
Love Love Love this!!!

This chicken scallopini is out of this world!  I am the opposite of a natural cook.  Normally, I hate cooking but this recipe looked so good and it really delivered!! First time and it was spectacular!!

Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1/2 tablespoon flour. Add this butter mixture to the mushroom mixture and whisk quickly. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the mixture thickens turn off heat.

Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet, cover with the sauce, and serve over pasta or rice.
