• 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup margarine or butter
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 can (10.75 oz.) condensed chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 can (8 oz.) mushroom stems and pieces, drained and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup chili sauce
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tsp. dried marjoram leaves

Directions

Cut chicken breast in half. Mix bread crumbs, walnuts and salt. Beat eggs slightly; stir in water. Coat chicken breasts with flour; dip into egg mixture. Coat with crumb mixture. Heat margarine and oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Cook chicken, several pieces at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Place 6 chicken breast halves in each of 2 ungreased baking pans. Pour broth into dishes; sprinkle with cheese. Mix remaining ingredients; spoon over top. (To serve 1 dish immediately, cook uncovered in 375 degree F oven until chicken is done, about 30 minutes.) Wrap, label and freeze the other dish no longer than 1 month.

To serve the frozen dish: About 1 1/2 hours before serving, remove from the freezer and unwrap. Cover and cook in 375 degree F oven about 40 minutes. Uncover and cook another 30 minutes.
