 I made two dinners with the Progresso Recipe started sauces. The first was the

Creamy Lemon Chicken

Here is the recipe:

• INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (18 oz) Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ creamy roasted garlic with chicken stock cooking sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Chopped fresh parsley, if desired
  • Grated lemon peel, if desired
  • Hot cooked rice, if desired
• 1. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick. In small shallow dish, mix flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; dip each chicken breast into flour mixture, coating all sides.In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, or until brown. In small bowl, mix cooking sauce and lemon juice.
  2. Pour sauce mixture over chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Sprinkle with parsley and lemon peel. Serve with rice.
  3. It was simple to make and I loved that it did not have too many ingredients.

     DIRECTIONS

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
     2. In shallow dish, mix butter, 3 tablespoons of the cooking sauce and the garlic powder. In another shallow dish, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip chicken into butter mixture, then dip into bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on cookie sheet.

     My family enjoyed both meals and I liked how easy the recipes were to follow. I was able to serve chicken in a new way to my husband and he liked having something different for dinner. So try Progresso Recipe Starter Sauces tonight and your family will thank you.
