and thickens. Add mushrooms.

45 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve sprinkled with finely

Note: We (myself and five siblings) all loved this dish when we
were kids. It was only when I grew up and made it myself that I
realized what a sophisticated yet easy dish it was. My mom always
doubled the recipe to feed our large gang and I think it freezes
good as well. No idea where the recipe originated, though it more
than likely was taken from a 60's copy of Women's Day magazine.
