I added another tablespoon of lemon juice.  It was perfect.  Not too lemony but you could taste lemon.  I also pounded the chicken breasts to tenderize.  Absolutely perfect?? I  only had 3 decent sized chicken breasts so there was plenty of sauce.  My sister who is a manager of a restaurant said this was easily a chicken dish that would be served in an top notch restaurant.

After making this last night I seriously cannot wait to have it again.  So creamy, so rich and delicious!  This is my first review of any TOH recipe and I must say by far my favorite!  All the reviewers are correct, this sauce is simply decadent and could be used over anything.  Veggies, baked or mashed potatoes, pork chops, fish, a flip-flop.....lol, just kidding!  The only change I made was to deglaze the pan with 1\/3 cup white wine before I added the broth.  And I only used 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in the sauce with a lemon wedge squeezed over right before eating.  Served it on a egg noodles.  SO GOOD.  You won\u2019t be disappointed with this dish.

Any time a recipe calls for fresh mushrooms, I always saute them with diced white onion, a splash of wine (red or white) and organic beef stock.  I went ahead and started the mushrooms in a separate pan beforehand, then got going with the rest of the dish.  It takes longer to saute the mushrooms but is so worth it for the true, full flavor they can add.  I doubled the sauce recipe because I know my family and they're crazy for sauces.  Other than those two changes, I made the recipe as it was.  So, so delicious.
