- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1/4 cup butter; set aside.
- 2. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup butter with flour, using the back of a fork or a pastry blender to mix until creamy.
- 3. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut each piece of chicken in half. Coat chicken with bread crumbs, pressing firmly. Drizzle coated chicken with melted butter; grill or broil for about 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Keep chicken warm while you make the sauce.
- 4. In a large ovenproof skillet, bring stock to a boil; whisk in butter-flour mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens. Reduce to a simmer. Add mushrooms, broccoli, prosciutto, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice and wine. Simmer 5 minutes.
- 5. Place cooked chicken pieces in sauce; sprinkle cheese on top of each chicken piece, dividing evenly. Place in oven and bake just until cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes.
- 6. Lift chicken onto plates; use a slotted spoon to ladle vegetables over cheese. Pour sauce over all; serve immediately.
- Note: If using fresh broccoli, cut florets and steam or microwave just until crisp-tender. If using frozen broccoli spears or florets, thaw and drain well.
- Tester's note: The sauce may be started about 30 minutes ahead. Prepare as directed, but do not add mushrooms and broccoli. Just before serving, add vegetables and simmer until hot, about 7 minutes.

CHARLIE CHICKEN
One of the constant recipes in our house. A very elegant presentation with very little effort. Charlie was a dear friend, and a great cook. I was 13 yrs old the first time I made this, and now @ 30+none-of-your-business, this dish is made at least once a month in my house. Everytime this dish is requested, cooked & tasted, the memories of Charlie fill my house and my heart, bringing him close again. ********* Please note - I no longer use a cut-up fryer as I did in the original recipe. My family is a breast group, with the occasional thigh & legs if Grandkids are coming over...

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°.
- Using a Non-Stick Spray of your choice, coat a 9x13 casserole dish (a LIGHT rub of vegetable oil will work just as well).
- Place chicken breasts in dish, barely touching each other- Skin side UP.
- Pour in 3/4 cup water, allowing it to go around each piece of chicken.
- Open 2 packets of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix, and sprinkle all over chicken, using the entire packages.
- Cover & seal casserole COMPLETELY with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350° for 60 min or until chicken is tender and completely cooked, (180°when checked with thermometer){See Notes below}.
- Uncle Bens Brown & Wild Rice Mushroom Directions:.
- Using Medium saucepan combine rice, contents of seasoning packet, 4 1/4 cups water and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
- Stir well.
- Bring contents to a boil, REDUCE HEAT (low to medium low) and simmer covered 25 minutes or until water is absorbed.
- Place chicken on a bed of the Uncle Ben's rice, making sure to get plenty of the sauce that is around the chicken.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped Parsley.
- Enjoy!
- ***NOTE***.
- This recipe was originally cooked in an electric skillet at 375° for 1 1/2 hours, with steam vent closed, and NO added water.
- It always came out moist w/ a fine gravy/sauce. I lost my electric skillet in a house fire, being on SS I never have the $ to get another I liked, so I changed the recipe for the oven. The difference in heat source I guess makes the need for added moisture.
- Adding the small amount of water makes a gravy/sauce that is super when served as suggested.
- There are many choices of Uncle Ben's Rice Recipes, choose the one you prefer. I like to add extra mushrooms, or other special touches such as parsley, and sometimes I just use a standard rice pilaf, with tiny chips of veggies.
- We never make any other side dishes, this is more than satisfying.
- Do not fuss over finger licking as people continue to pick every bite off the bones.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients, and ensure all necessary cooking tools and equipment are clean and ready to use.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Using fresh, berkualitas baik ingredients will significantly enhance the flavor of your Chicken Emil. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts and flavorful mushrooms.
- Tenderize the Chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps tenderize the chicken, making it more succulent and flavorful.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking can dry out the chicken and make it tough.
- Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking and will contribute to the dish's overall flavor.
- Don't Crowd the Skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the chicken and vegetables. This will help ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
- Deglaze the Pan: After removing the chicken and vegetables from the skillet, deglaze the pan with white wine. This will help dissolve any browned bits and add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Reduce the Sauce: Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to reduce it slightly and concentrate its flavors.
- Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, garnish the Chicken Emil with chopped parsley or chives for added color and freshness.
