Sauteed Chicken with White Wine & Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 4 (1/4-lb.) chicken breast cutlets
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/2 lb. sliced white mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 tbsp. dried rosemary

Makes 4 Servings (1 chicken cutlet & 1/4 cup mushroom sauce)

1. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter; keep warm.
2. Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and rosemary; cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 3  minutes longer. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. If you are ever craving upscale Italian food but you don't want to go out to a restaurant, this dinner is for you. Weekends for me usually include dinner and a movie. I wanted a simple Italian dinner and this dish looked quick, easy and tasty. Who doesn't enjoy the combination of chicken and white wine? I made this dinner and it was a delicious surprise. If you want to add more to the dish, I highly recommend adding a little oregano, some vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers or asparagus, and or pasta for a more authentic Italian dish. If you add whole wheat pasta, the points value will increase by 3 points but it's worth it.
