Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the golden mushroom soup, diced onion, dry white wine, mushroom pieces with liquid, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
- Pour the mushroom mixture over the chicken.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh mushrooms instead of canned. If you don't have dry white wine, chicken broth or apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. Be sure to season the chicken with salt and pepper before adding the sauce for enhanced taste. For a twist, add some herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Jeannine's Chicken pairs beautifully with a side of Jan's Rice Salad for a complete meal. Consider serving it with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish. A crusty bread would also complement the sauce well, allowing guests to soak up every bit of flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, boneless chicken can be used, but adjust the cooking time as it may cook faster. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure it's fully cooked. Boneless chicken breasts may require less time, so start checking for doneness around 40 minutes.
What can I serve with Jeannine's Chicken?
This dish goes well with a variety of sides. For a refreshing contrast, try serving it with a light salad or some roasted vegetables. It also pairs nicely with rice or potatoes, which can absorb the delicious mushroom sauce.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken and the sauce a day in advance. Simply cover and refrigerate, then bake when ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making for an even tastier meal.
