Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce

Very easy to prepare...very light but very delicious! I did top my with a few sliced kalamata olives. And, I did take the advice of one review and I doubled the sauce...

Highly Recommend This for a perfect meal for two. Used white wine instead of vermouth & it was delicious

Thank you very much! Tomorrow this be my lunch! Best Marianne

Great recipe. Very delicious! I would say to double the sauce.

Would not change a thing. AMAZING! Even the kids and husband who do not like mushrooms loved it!

Yum! We halved the recipe, so ended up with less sauce, but just added more broth, cream, and wine. Delicious! Can't believe this is diet food.

This was a really great recipe. 6 points for those of you who are tracking Weight Watcher points.

This was amazing. I used white button mushroom instead since that was what was in my fridge and still came out great. My husband even liked it and he is not a fan of mushrooms or chicken.

This is like the uber yumtasticest thing I've had in a while. I had sliced baby bellas so I used those, and I didn't have any heavy cream so I subbed 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter and about 1.5 tbsp low fat mayo. Wasn't sure how it would turn out but was fantastic.

I can't help but fiddle with recipes. With this one I added an "eye" of bacon to serve under the chicken breast. I also added two tablespoons of tomato paste and the result was a treat. I don;t usually enjoy my own cooking but this worked well and I will cook it again.

This dish was delicious, have made it a few times and it never disappoints.

Sunday Dinner comes to Wednesday Night! No complaints really. Making twice the sauce was the best idea as it accompanies whatever starch you might serve with- rice, pasta, couscous or crusty dinner bread. Also added garlic and used Tajin seasoning instead of salt as it added a needed (for us ) kick. Would be happy serving this to guests. Pros: Looks elegant, tastes terrific Cons: Needs adjustments

Frustrating Looks wonderful Pros: Sounds delicious Cons: I can't have dairy, so I get so frustrated that 99% of the recipes incude dairy.

Delicious! So, I tried this tonight and my husband and I really enjoyed it and we agreed that this was definitely a keeper! I like sauces so I added cornstarch to it to thicken it up so that it wasn't so thin. I didn't have Shitake mushrooms, so I used Creminis instead and I used turkey cutlets because I didn't have chicken breasts. I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but I did use it as a base for what I ended up serving. Regardless, this was delicious and I would definitely make this again. Pros: Quick, simple, and not a lot of prep work! Cons: Sauce is thin

Needs More Sauce! Really easy recipe that didn't need a whole lot of crazy ingredients. Next time I would double the ingredients needed for the sauce. I cooked some spaghetti noodles and tossed them with the dish and the small amount of sauce got soaked right up. Only had baby bella mushrooms, so I used those instead of the others. Still worked. Pros: Delicious, Clean, Easy, Little Ingredients Cons: Plain

Cream and oil in a diet recipe!I loved recipe, and was surprised that cream and oil could be used in a recipe that was so low calorie. I had to make many substitutions to make it work for my house: broth for wine, half and half for heavy cream, onions for shallots, porta bella for shiitake. I know that the other ingredients would have worked better, but read the comments. I wish that the recipe had focused on ingredients that were more typical of a household, were less costly, and could be used for other recipes (how could a dieter use the rest of the heavy cream?).Pros: Elegant and easy.Cons: I had to substitute many ingredients.

This recipe is delicious and fragrant. My family loved it. My teenage sons friends were over while I was cooking and they all wanted to stay for dinner. Pros: It's easy and I had almost every ingredient.

Yum, delicious!This was really easy to make! I omitted the cooking wine and the shallot. Still turned out great! Had a really strong mushroom flavor. I prepared couscous as a side...it was my first time attempting to cook it and it turned out good too!Pros: Great flavor, easy to prepare, filling and delicious!

Easy and tasty Chicken dish I made this dish last night for dinner and it was really good. I didn't have any white wine but I seem to think it would have added a bit more depth to the sauce and chicken. Also I didn't have the heavy cream and used 1% milk and had to add a teaspoon or so of flour to help thicken the sauce. Nonetheless, I will definitely make this again and add the wine and heavy cream as the recipe suggests but it wasn't horrible without them either. Pros: Easy to make

Awesome Dinner!! Definitely Putting In The RotationGreat meal! This is a must for our rotation. It was quick & easy. I made it with white rice instead of noodles b/c my husband is not a big noodle fan. This is a must try!Pros: Quick & Easy

Better alternative Much better than my fattening old recipe. Husband liked it too. Will definitely make again soon. Made me like chicken breasts. Served it with brown rice. Pros: quick and easy

Fantastic I did use evaporated skim milk instead of heavy cream along with the dry vermouth. My husband and I loved it!!!

Yummy! It was fairly easy to prepare & tasted wonderful. My only complaint is I'd prefer more chicken. I guess I'm used the the American larger servings, but 4 oz wasn't enough for me. I'd make it again.

Easy and Wonderful Taste I am always seeking out recipes that are healthy, easy to make and full of flavor, this recipe met this criteria perfectly! I made it exactly as the recipe called for and both my husband and I just loved it. Highly recommend it! Pros: Easy, Low Calorie, Low Fat, Great Taste

Sauce Shmauce the only way i see this dish being a flop is someones personal taste, or they dont succeed to make it properly - given that, this dish was amazingly easy to make, and fantastic flavor to boot! at least according to my own taste and ability, and though the "sauce" wasnt sauce (which can be easily fixed by adding more of something, i added nothing extra) i enjoyed it very much! i really never would have guessed that something so delicious would have so few calories! will be making this again in the future! Pros: easy, affordable, tasty Cons: -none-

So Yummy! I'm always looking for new, healthy ways to prepare chicken and this one definitely will be added to my recipe box! It was very tasty. I served this with Eating Well's Brown Rice and Greens recipe and it was a perfectly delicious and filling dinner. Pros: Easy to prepare

Just so-so I made this exactly as the recipe read and used chicken scallopine so it didn't dry out. The liquids all absorbed into my mushrooms so there was not a cream sauce at all. It wasn't bad and my husband liked it but I was hoping for more flavor. Pros: Quick Cons: Sauce was not a "sauce" at all

AWESOME If you were given this meal in a beautiful candlelit restaurant, you would be incredibly impressed! Pros: Absolutely delicious!

this was terrrrrific This was such a pleasant surprise I could not raving about it. I had wondered how anything with heavy cream could be so healthy.....especially because I don't like 'creamy' foods. This was not remotely creamy, and in fact, it simply tasted decadent, without all the guilt. It definitely tasted as if it could have been on the menu of a fancy French restaurant.... yummmmoooooo. I am making it again tomorrow, and I cannot wait. Pros: easy, delicious, decadent - without the guilt

DeliciousSimple to prepare and delicious. Even my picky husband liked it!Pros: Easy

Bland Didn't really care for this recipe. Sauce was too runny & it is a very bland dish. Pros: Easy to prepare Cons: No flavor

GreatThis recipe turned out very good. I ended up having to substitute chopped Portobello mushroom caps for shitake as it was a last minute decision and none of my local shops sold them. It still turned out great. I served with browned rice with a dash of garlic salt and a glass of the Pinot used in the recipe which rounded out the meal very well.Pros: Easy to MakeCons: Shitake Mushrooms can be hard to find

Great, but not that creamyMushrooms are AMAZING with this dish. I can't get the creaminess exactly (I imagine adding a bit of cornstarch may do the trick?), but the flavor is just fantastic. Definitely recommend having a meat thermometer (it makes a huge difference).Pros: deliciousCons: lacks creaminess

Great Really like this one. I think it would be great with portobellos as well. The only change I made was substituting fat-free sour cream for the heavy cream as I didn't have heavy cream. Pros: Easy, minimal ingredients

High end restaurant-like dish Fantastico...so much flavor and a beautiful presentation. My substitutions were Portobello in lieu of Shitake mushrooms and half and half instead of heavy cream. Easy to put together, and the flavor...well you'll just have to try this. Way to go Eating Well.

Delicious in it's simplicity This has probably been my favorite recipe so far. I didn't have a few ingredients, so I made a couple substitutions and they are as follows: For the white whine, I used one tablespoon red wine vinegar and one tablespoon chicken broth. For the shallots, I used one teaspoon onion powder, which I added in with the vinegar and broth. For the heavy cream, I subbed one tablespoon skim milk and one tablespoon non-flavored coffee creamer. I had baby bellas, so I used those instead. I can't believe how so few ingredients can be so full of flavor! Served with grilled yellow summer squash and over a bed of brown parsleyed rice, this meal blew me away. One other thing I did was sprinkle about 1/8 tsp kosher salt over the mushrooms as they cooked, before added the vinegar, et all. I highly recommend this recipe and I will be making this again!

So rich and flavorful! I got amazing wild mushrooms this weekend at a farmers' market: lamb's foot and lobster. So I used them in this recipe. It was so rich and flavorful. And I had the leftovers the next day...they were just as good. I served it with whole-grain rice pilaf and a spinach salad with apples, walnuts and aged goat cheese. Great combo!

Absolutely amazing dish! Never had shitake mushrooms in my life until this recipe and loved them. I agree--prep took a bit more time than I expected but will likely be faster in the future. Served it with whole wheat egg noodles and steamed broccoli and it was excellent and filling. Thanks EW--definitely a keeper!

As usual, another winner from EW......that's why I've subscribed for 3 years now! This recipe had minimal prep, and went together so well. I just had to go out to get shitakes and cream. My attitude is, if you love good food, love to cook, spend the time/money and get the correct ingredients! Believe me, this recipe was worth it. My only problem is that I ended up giving my husband half of my chicken breast......he really could have eaten 2 rather than 1. Plus, I agree that the sauce could be doubled, especially if you're serving with a starch. I just added an entire 8 oz cream and it was perfect, since I tossed angel hair with it. Next time I will double all or maybe just stick with the 8oz cream. In the end, again, simple ingredients, delicate, excellent taste!

Great meal...takes a little prep (at least the first time) but the sauce and the shitake mushrooms added a great flavor to this dish. Served with pasta and green beans to round out a tasty dinner.

This was AMAZING! I served it with whole wheat olive oil and garlic couscous and steamed broccoli. As a leftover hater, I usually send all of the leftovers with my fiance, but I set aside some for myself and it was so good even the next day! I'll definitely be making this again and again!

Excellent flavor and easy to make. My kids even asked for seconds!

Okay, I know there have been a lot of great comments but I thought it needed a little kick of flavor but then again I am a flavor nut! I added a little more wine, a big dollop of fat free sour cream, a big tablespoon of minced garlic, and a splash of whiskey (gives it a nice flavor), oh I also added some raisins and pine nuts. Yum!
