smothered chicken

when mom was here for spring break we made smothered chicken. talking with my neighbor heather about smothered pork chops led into a discussion of good southern food. she shared this recipe with me as best she could remember. it came from a friend of hers in virginia and boy am i glad it did. it was fabulous! (we added sauteed mushrooms to ours - yum!) enjoy!
