This is incorrect. NEVER put white wine in after mushrooms. The white wine is used to deglaze the pan after the garlic, onion. High heat, when used in this manner, is to burn off alcohol. Mushrooms go in after… they will produce a nice amount of liquid to compliment the wine, butter and lemon juice.

Thank you for the good suggestion.
However – As stated above, this recipe does come straight from the restaurant. So, for most readers, I would suggest trying it “as is” first and see if it tastes like the restaurant version. If not, feel free to experiment and try other techniques such as the one you suggest.
Have fun.

Rating the recipe a 1 because of a trivial thing like adding mushrooms before or after is really crappy of you. Clearly you haven’t cooked the recipe as is because it’s delicious so you have no business commenting on it or rating it.

One of my favorite restaurant dishes, simple and full of flavor! This turned out just like I remembered it (and I did not deviate from recipe as posted), Thank you!

Very delicious!! I was curious why it called for 4 slices of prosciutto & fontina when the recipe serves only 2 & instructions say to put 1 slice of prosciutto & fontina on the chicken. You’re left with 2 extra slices each.

Thanks for pointing that out. As this is a Straight-From-the-Restaurant Recipe, we went back and checked our original. And… That’s what it says. That’s kinda silly, isn’t it? 😉 It’s probably just a typo or a simple mistake.
But… Which part is wrong? Did 1 slice taste good to you or do you think it would it be better with 2? Please let everyone know.
Thanks again C.

Robert,
Thank you for the question.
We know where you are coming from – It sounded like a lot to us, too. But, since this is a Straight-from-the-Restaurant Recipe, we rechecked our copy of the original article (https://www.providencejournal.com/article/20090211/Lifestyle/302119999 – Since deleted) and that’s what it says. So we have to assume it is correct.
It is hard to remember that far back for old guys like us, but I believe one of us had this dish back in 2021 and it WAS very garlicky – but still good.
Let us know in these comments what you think when you make it.
Thanks again, James
