X 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.

LOL!

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".

WTF is a "Organic chicken egg"?

Comes from a real, live chicken, costs twice as much.

Avoid any "inorganic chicken eggs".

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

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

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.

How about some chili powder in the Mix also?

Might as well, hell with 10 Habaneros, it's going to taste like Hurt anyway.
