While this is my mom's recipe, I had completely forgotten about it and just recently found a copy of this fantastic dish. The rich sauce and wonderful batter that goes on the chicken makes this an exquisite entree that is ideal for company.

This was so delicious...I was a little frazzled making it because I forgot to have things ready like the lemon zest or the shallots chopped. When I ate the first bite, though, it was all worth it. My husband said that it tasted like we were in an expensive restaraunt. I didn't change anything in the recipe and used wine. I will definitly be making this delicious recipe again, maybe tonight!

LOVED this!!!! I doubled the sauce as we always love extra that i used for our mashed potatoes i made to go with it - the sauce over the mashed potatoes was YUMMY! This was like chicken you would get in a nice restaurant! I never made a chicken breast w/an "egg" coating before (w/o bread crumbs) so that was rather interesting but i loved it! I did use the wine and instead of dried used fresh sage leaves (which if doubled would be 24 leaves chopped to = 2 tsp dried) i prob will add a bit more lemon juice but the subtle taste of it was still very yummy! this will be regularly in our rotation!

THIS IS REALLY GOOD! MY HUSBAND LOVED IT AND TOO WILL MAKE MORE OF THE SAUCE TO SERVE WITH RICE. I DID NOT USE THE WINE AS I DON'T CARE FOR THE TASTE. SUBSTITUTED CHICKEN BROTH.

Loved the flavor of the sauce. My 2 year old daughter even ate every bite. My husband licked his plate. Definitely will make again. I used fresh sage, and used egg beaters for the egg wash. Very good.

This recipe was pretty good. I used oregano instead of sage as no one in my family likes sage. Next time I make this, I will use chicken broth in place of the wine as it gave it a funny taste

Cooked as directed but used more fresh lemon juice and doubled the sauce. Simmered chicken in sauce after removing from oven. Did not use lemon zest.

My husband and son were crazy about this. A little too time consuming for a weeknite though, I made it for Sunday dinner and its definitely a winner!

This was super yummy!!! The chicken was really moist and the sauce was very yummy. The only change I will make next time is a little less lemon juice in the sauce.
