View Full Version : Chicken in Potatoes by RL

I have been making this a long time. It's fairly simple and really good.
1 package boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (or 2 large cans)
1 clove minced garlic
oregano
crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium brown onion, diced very well (or use onion powder)
2 bottles of chardonnay
2 large baking potatoes
2 cans Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup (you can substitute another brand, or cream of chicken, or sour cream)
Lots of butter or margarine
Open the first bottle of chardonnay and start drinking
Bake potatoes at 450 degrees. Cook them for a total of about 1 hour, turning once -- you want them a little crunchy on the outside.
Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and fry in large skillet over medium high heat in butter until golden brown
Add mushrooms, onions, garlic, oregano to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, more butter and some chardonnay -- fry until cooked
Reduce heat to low. If you're cooking with gas, you want the flame as low as you can get it.
Stir in the soup, one can at a time, adding a little more chardonnay and/or butter with each can to help dissolve the soup concentrate. (Note: you can use other soups that are not concentrated, but you'll need to add sour cream for more body)
Simmer about 10-20 minutes on low, stirring frequently.
When potatoes are cooked, put them in pasta bowls. Cut a deep slit in the top of each potato and squeeze at each end to open them up. Careful -- they'll be hot!
Add generous dollop of butter and/or sour cream to each potato, then pour chicken mixture over the top.
Serve with the remaining chardonnay and a fork. Open another bottle of chardonnay if needed.
Does anyone out here eat regular food?:confused:

I've made something very similar and serve over egg noodles. I'll try it with the baked potatoes next time, this sounds delicious.

LOL! I think I counted seven different types of "chicken eggs"!
Had a carton of eggs labeled "Free range chicken eggs". :confused:
WTF is a "Organic chicken egg"? :o

Comes from a real, live chicken, costs twice as much.
Avoid any "inorganic chicken eggs".

I'm More curious about this,"1 medium brown onion, diced very well"
Round Here we have Red onions, Yellow onions, White onions, Green onions, 1015 onions, and Vidalia Onions, But I have yet to see a Brown Onion.

Well, I guess that is the benefit of living in the #1 agricultural state in the US. :lifter

Well, if fresh veggies are more important to you than gun rights, more power to you.:confused:

You can use whatever kind of onion you want in this dish. You also can make it without onions. Or, for the Texas version, substitute 10 habanero peppers for the onion and do not use any sour cream. :D
How about some chili powder in the Mix also?
Might as well, hell with 10 Habaneros, it's going to taste like Hurt anyway.

Sure. Try it and let us know how you liked it.
Really though, It does sound good(Minus the Habaneros) no matter what color the onions are supposed to be.
I will let you know.

For a second there I thought Guy was going to sing a Donnie & Marie song....:D
I grew up listening to the Osmonds and the Jackson 5...since MJ turned into a rich white freak/child molester, I'm not to keen on them any more.
Back to food now....
Trying to order a regular meal out here, is like try to get blood out of turnip.:confused:

You can't find that? Man, I'm coming up there to teach you some Kali land nav!
Or foraging
Or whatever kind of fieldcraft this is :D
I'm taking the wife out tomorrow to dinner and that new Jet Li movie "Hero."
I'll ask for exactly what I described above. I'll bet you the waiter looks at me like I have third eye in my forehead.
WTF!?!?
Are there no WAFFLE HOUSE locations in KALI?

Just not quite the same.
I think Waffle Houses come pre-made from the factory with that stale smoke smell and a surly waitress with an obnoxious Yankee accent.

There are down here. Not so sure about Guy's AO. Possibly inland a bit more, like Sacramento area.
There you go Guy; Open your own Waffle House Franchise. I'm sure that would be REEAAALL popular. You know, steak & eggs, Apple pie, American kind of stuff. Probably get firebombed on the first day and give you an excuse to cull the Hippie war protester herd a bit.:munchin
Tried the Chicken and Potatoes by RL last night.
Outstanding!! I used fresh mushrooms and added chives and bacon as toppings. I would recommend this dish without reservation!

Hell I live in Peru and went out Sunday and had Steak, 3 eggs over medium (Organic I think), Hash Browns and Toast with 3 types of jelly. Oh they also had patty and links of Sausage (Jimmy Deans) there if you wanted it. You do have it bad in that liberal Hippie state.:munchin

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that he is enjoying life.
Could be worse, you could have had his A/2/7 predecessor there running The Plantation.

Yeah could be worse. He is always asking if we are hiring so he can get off that contractor deal with the NAS. He is jealous that I am a GS instead of the bottom dwelling contractors like state says. They do good work but State treats them worse than they treat the locals. Hell there are 9 Retired SF guys in the NAS right now. 1 in MAAG and Me up in DEA. We are all over the place.
