Edith’s Mushroom Chicken

My Great-Aunt Esta is my grandmother’s youngest sister. Growing up, we would see her maybe once or twice a year, on special occasions when she would fly to Michigan from her home in New York. Grandma and her sisters were all blessed with terrific senses of humor. Some of my favorite childhood memories are hearing them all together laughing. Aunt Esta has been wonderfully supportive of my blog, and gives me the the most endearing comments like “Your grandma would be proud of you.” Thank you Aunt Esta, it means so much to me! Recently she sent me my favorite kind of recipe, simple and delicious! Enjoy!

As organic as possible:

6 Boned Chicken breasts

2 Eggs, beaten

2 cups Bread Crumbs (*Aunt Esta mixes in a little Parmesan cheese so I did too)

1/4 cup Grate Parmesan *optional

1 Large can Mushrooms (*I sautéed some in butter & olive oil- about a pint of fresh)

1 – 14.5 oz. can Chicken broth

8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

Oil or Margerine for frying

Cut boned chicken into 2 or 3 strips. Soak in beaten eggs 5 hours or overnight.
