Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, split
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter substitute, unsalted
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine or vermouth, or low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten to a uniform thickness of slightly less than 1/2 inch. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt half of butter or margarine in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides; remove from skillet and set aside.
Melt remaining butter in same pan. Add mushrooms. Cook over high heat until they begin to brown, 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add wine and chicken breasts. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Just before they are cooked, add lemon juice, parsley and additional salt and pepper.
