Bohannan Chicken
"This is a family recipe, handed down from my Great Grandmother Bohannan. That's why I call it "Bohannan Chicken." I like to serve it with a nice fruit salad of some sort, and petit pois."

This was quite tasty - I liked all the vegetables though I did not add the mushrooms - don't care for them at all. I also like that this is a one-pot meal - makes cooking in the evenings after work a lot easier. Served this over wild rice with a green salad - great meal. Thanks for posting - made for Spring PAC 2012.

Hi! I'm of Irish heritage, with a little bit of American Indian, Spanish, and English in me. I was raised in the heart of Cajun Country, but have traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. I'm in the restaurant business and have worked in every aspect of it for the past 35 years. I'm also a Jazz vocalist. My passions in life are singing, gardening, and cooking. I'm in the process of writing a cookbook, as a legacy to my mother, who passed away in 1979, who was a fabulous cook, and who always wanted to write her own cookbook. I have one daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter, who is the love of my life. I can't wait to be able to teach her how to cook and cook with her! Thanks for your interest in me! God bless you and have a wonderful day!
