We very much enjoyed our dinner, and we have some leftovers! That's good for us! I used a package of Costco organic chicken breasts that I cut in half horizontally and did not pound out. I cut the other ingredients in half, and they were just right. I used panko crumbs, and I used 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier on top. I do think that 25 minutes at 350 would be too much for what I made, so if the chicken were to be pounded out to 1/4 inch, I wouldn't want to bake it for that long. As it was, I baked mine for about 15 minutes at 350. We will definitely have this again, and I'd serve it for company any time! Thanks, NANNYMM!
This recipe is excellent! I might add that if it were possible this one rates 10 stars! I never change anything the first time that I make it & I can not see that I will make any changes. It is outstanding as is! One lady complained that it mentioned the wine twice, the #1 was to make the wine sauce & #2 was to tell you when to add the sauce...both times were necessary! The other complaint was that it did not say when to place the lemon slices on the chicken nor when to add the lemon juice. You add the lemon slices after you salt & pepper the chicken in the baking dish & it tells you to add the lemon juice & broth simultaneously after scraping up the bits & pieces. I'm 80 years old & my daddy & "Mama", my grandmother taught me to cook. The first thing they taught me was "if using a recipe, take the time to read ALL of it slowly, then make sure that you have everything on hand, take your time, always follow the recipe the first time." I would like to add that food should always be prepared with love, many people are so into fast food that they think cooking should be as fast as fast food. NOT SO! There are recipes can can be rushed but never do a recipe as excellent as this one without taking the to do it right! My thanks to NannyMM & her mother for this excellent dish! Margo
I usually do not rate and review recipes but I had to let you all know that this was FABULOUS! I followed the recipe exactly as written and we all thought it was awesome. Thanks for posting!
Oh, boy! This lovely chicken was served to three generations, and everyone said this recipe is a keeper. I was too lazy to pound the chicken, cutting the breasts in halves instead. The orange liqueur added another dimension I didn't expect. I forgot the lemons, but I'm sure they would have boosted the flavor even more. I served this with risotto on the side. I would be proud to serve this to company! Thank you for a terrific recipe!
For 6 servings: Using 1.5 - 2 lbs thin breast pieces, I soak the chicken in milk for a few hours. I combine 1/2 c cheese and 1/2 c breadcrumbs in a bag, and heat less than 1/2 c olive oil until very hot in a saute pan. After draining the milk, I toss the chicken in the crumb mix and I fry the chicken briefly on each side, then add to a greased dish. I top each piece with a thin slice of lemon and prepare the sauce. I leave a small amount of oil in the pan, to which I add 1 c wine, 1 c chicken broth and 1/4 c lemon juice. I bring this to a boil and reduce it by about half. I add the sauce to the dish and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Followed recipe exactly. Fantastic on instruction, prep and wonderful flavor. I have made it 3 times and get rave bring on the seconds. HINT: make more then you need the left overs later in the week will pay huge dividends!
This is an absolute winner. The flavor and tenderness were exceptional. The only modification I made was using the whole can of chicken broth and adding extra wine. I alway made sure each piece of chicken received some Grand Marnier. The only other advice I will give is do not over cook (people tend to cook chicken too much).
So simple to make and almost restaurant quality I think there is an error in recipe because mentions use of wine twice but not when to add lemon. Added lemon juice after bringing to a boil . Will be a go to recipe for me. Loved it !!
With the addition of a little balsamic vinegar, catsup, and Brown sugar this becomes slap yo mama good!!
I agree with another reviewer. Tasty but it is a lot like Lemon Chicken Piccata with more work. There is a GREAT recipe for Lemon Chicken Piccata added by LemonLush that we have made several times!!
