"This is my husband's favorite dinner. I got this recipe from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. It makes a rich, creamy gravy and is different than your ordinary chicken dish. Definitely nice enough to serve to company. Enjoy!"

Delicious! I couldn't find pearl onions so I added sliced sweet onion and a jar of sliced mushrooms. Really good recipe. Thank you Amykins!

This is good plain comfort food. It's relatively quick and easy to put together on a weeknight. Two notes, I used 8oz of fresh mushrooms and approximately 8oz of frozen pearl onions, because I had them on hand. I thought the mushrooms might water down the sauce, but it seemed quite thick and creamy. Thanks for posting. My DH is already asking about its appearance on a future menu ;-)
