Planning a dinner party? I love to have dinner parties. I really enjoy thinking about what I am going to serve and getting everything prepared. From the meal to having the table decorated just right. My fiance tells me to just order pizza. He thinks it's too much work. I however enjoy doing it, and I know in the end he loves the food that I have prepared and appreciates it just as much as our guests. I have put together one of my favorite menus that I enjoy cooking and most of all eating. It is a big hit. The first time I made this was about 17 years ago. I have since reunited with friends and you'll never guess, my fiance since then. In conversations with them they still remember the night I made the following meal. So if you want to make a good impression try this one out. Main dish - Chicken in a white wine mushroom sauce, Creamy potatoes, Vegetable casserole. Chicken in White Wine Mushroom Sauce (better know as Sharons' (my Moms') Wine Chicken)! Chicken: Slice 8 to 10 pieces of boneless skinless chicken breasts in half. Dredge in flour seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic to taste. In a large pan heat oil on medium high heat and saute both side until lightly brown. Place cooked chicken breasts in a baking dish.
