CHICKEN FRANCESE : Submitted by Treelady

This recipe calls for 1 lb. of boneless Chicken Breasts. I made it with 3 lbs.
of breasts and tripled everything except the eggs. I think I used about 6 eggs,
but 4-5 would have been plenty. It came out great. Well here goes:

all- purpose flour to coat chicken
3 eggs, beaten and seasoned
1 lb. of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
cup white wine
2 cups chicken broth (You can use the broth in the envelopes, follow directions)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
stick, lightly salted butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tsp. cornstarch (hint-Mix cornstarch in little cold water to mix, before
putting into heat)

1. Coat chicken with flour, seasoned eggs (salt, pepper, parsley, little garlic
powder and grated cheese), and saut in large skillet until almost cooked. Drain
on paper towels.

2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees

3. Dump out any remaining oil that you used for frying, and use the same fry
pan and combine wine, broth, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste, butter or
margarine, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir together while heating
slowly. After butter has melted, stir in cornstarch mixture until the sauce
thickens slightly. Place chicken in a baking dish, and pour sauce all over
it. Use a pan where the chicken will be covered in the sauce. Cover with
sliced lemons, and sliced mushrooms, and bake in oven for 15 minutes, uncovered.
I also used olive oil for frying the cutlets. You can also pound the breasts to
flatten them.

Seared Porkchops in Mushroom Sauce w/Rice
What you need:
Porkchops (as many as you are cooking for)
1 can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom Soup
Salt n Pepper (or whatever seasoning you like to use for
meat)
Garlic Powder
Meat Tenderizer
Cooking Oil
Rice

Directions:
Heat about inch of oil in your frying pan. Just enough to
cover the skillet-maybe more. Season your chops with salt n
pepper, garlic powder and meat tenderizer. Pierce with a
fork so seasonings will go through the meat. Gently place
your seasoned chops in the pan. I would suggest NOT to
cover the pan-chops cook fast. Let the chops cook until
they aren't pink anymore-flipping sides. Remove them from
the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate.Pour out the
leftover oil and make sure you leave the drippings-this
will be used for your gravy. After you've poured the oil
out, put the pan back on the stove on medium heat. Open
your can of mushroom soup and pour in with a can of water.
Let this come to a boil and then turn down. Add your
porkchops to the gravy and let simmer for about 5-10
minutes-covered. Don't cook down too much since you are
using this as a gravy. Just cook it down to a gravy
thickness. Cook up some rice and pour gravy over it. Mashed
potatoes work well also, but I prefer rice.
