Chicken in Wine

Wine, mushrooms, and thyme combine for a meal worthy of your family or company!

Another Tyler Junior League cookbook rendition, I’ve prepared this dish for my family for many years and it always pleases.  Here’s a hint, if you haven’t finished a bottle of wine in a couple of days, place the remainder in the fridge to use in this dish.

One frying pan does it all – from browning the chicken to making the sauce.  Place the chicken in the preheated oven for about one hour while you relax with a glass of wine.  What could be better?

Enjoy!
