Breast of Chicken a La Champagne

You will love this chicken breast recipe. Breast of Chicken in Champagne is easy to make and tastes delicious. Serve with rice and vegetables for a wonderful meal.

Wine Pairing: Serve the sparkling wine that you use in preparing this chicken to drink with the meal. I'd suggest Francis Coppola Sofia Rose. This is a lovely dry sparkling rose. The berry and citrus flavors of this wine will pair well with the chicken breasts and mushrooms.

4 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
