This is one of the best recipes I've ever made... I cannot even describe how good it is... excellent comfort food and well worth the trouble.

This one is fantastic. My changes: no onions (yuck), used half pkg sliced mushrooms, only used 6 Tbsp butter, only used a sprinkle of salt and pepper (no fancy stuff), used more chicken broth instead of wine (didn't have it), used only 1 cup MJ cheese (misread recipe) and halved the chicken pieces (2 breasts, making 4 pieces). My husband and I melted into this.. next time will serve left over sauce with rice or egg noodles. I also soaked the breasts in garlic infused olive oil for a few hours before I started because I was worried they'd be dry like others have said. This was perfect. When you fry the chicken, do it over medium heat and just until the sides get pretty white -- I think actually browning them is what is causing the dryness. Don't worry, they'll cook all the way in the oven. This was perfect. Thank you.

Really good and easy to make. I used all chicken broth instead of wine only because of my picky husband. The chicken seemed a little dry the last time a prepared the recipe but other wise it was fine.

I did not coat the chicken with flour, but rather seasoned with salt and pepper only. Came out nicely. My husband who usually turns his nose up at dishes make with "glop" went back for seconds!! Thanks for the recipe.

This is an elegant and incredible recipe, the name "Chicken Monterey" does not do it justice. You have to make it right, if you don't follow the recipe don't complain. This is a classic french mushroom sauce and the flavors combine to make you nearly weep. I made this for a party I threw and didn't even try it till after the party because I had been cooking all day. When I popped a bite into my mouth I made noises that were, well, inappropriate. When you brown the chicken, do it in hot, almost browned butter to acheive the browning without overcooking the chicken. I think that may be where some people are complaining, they destroy the chicken before they ever put it in the oven. The sauce needs to be made exactly according to the directions. I will cherish this recipe in my files forever. -Oh yeah, I am going to try adding some diced green chiles next time, but only because I have followed the directions once already.

Sorry, I didn't care for this recipe at all. The celery salt was odd tasting in it (regular salt would have been better), and there was way too much pepper.

Really good chicken recipe. Probably 4 stars for me but my husband RAVED about how good it was, so that gets it 5! I served it with steamed broccoli and brown rice. Mixed some of the mushroom sauce into the rice. Was a really good meal!

This was by far the best chicken recipe I've had in a long time. My husband ate enough for 4 people. Didn't even need a starch. I just made fresh Broccoli with Brown Butter. Outstanding

Good recipe, I agree that it needs more sauce doubled onions,used 2 cups canned mushrooms {we buy gallon cans ofmushrooms at Sam's club] used 1 cup of wine and 12 oz. can of chicken broth used 2 cups of flour with lots of spices, italian seasoning,basil, oregano,thmye,sage,dillweed,and put the white pepper and celery salt in flour along with fresh ground pepper, then used 3 tablespoons of flour mix in sauce before coating the chicken. Also doubled the cheese in sauce and used 1 cup on top. Turned out great.

This was a good recipe, but I didn't think it was great. I think I coated the chicken with too much flour. I had the chicken wet when I put it in the flour and patted it and topped it with as much flour as I could get on it. I thought that it would make the chicken with a crispy crust, but it just turned out kinda mushy. I will make it again, since the reason it turned out like it did was my fault. The flavor was good and we did enjoy it other than the mushy flour stuff.

My husband liked it more than I did. I thought it was way too salty even though I cut the celery salt in half. I don't think I'll be making this again.

Very good ... very easy ... esp if you buy the chicken cutlets! I use more chicken stock (whole can) and less white wine (1/4 cup), but it still come out wonderful. I also garnish with some chopped tomatoes and green onion.

This was awesome. I am not a big fan of mushrooms myself, but my husband likes them a lot. I am not a big cook eigther, but I loved this recipe and it was easy to make. Only thing I changed: love garlic so used 2 cloves, and love cheese so used a lot! I also used a whole cup of chicken broth rather than the wine. Will be making this for a long time to come. Thanks!!!!
