Healthy Chicken Francaise image

A classic Italian dish with a healthier twist. By replacing the butter with the Earth Balance you are saving yourself quite a few calories. I have made this for people who are not dieting (nor are they trying) and they raved about for weeks. This has become the number one crowd pleaser for me so I'm hoping you, your friends and family will enjoy it as well.
