"Grandma gave me this recipe many years ago. It still is one of my family's favorites."

Recipe With a History, January 2000

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
salt and pepper
1 4 to 5-pound chicken, cut in serving pieces (I take the skin off)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups heavy cream or all-purpose cream

Instructions:

Melt butter in a heavy cast-iron skillet and cook salt-and-peppered chicken until browned. Add mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are light and clear. Place flour in a covered jar with a small amount of the cream. Add some salt, cover, and shake well. Pour in the rest of the cream and shake again, then add to pan. Cover and simmer 45 minutes, stirring frequently. Grandma gave me this recipe many years ago. It still is one of my family's favorites.

    Grandma knows best! This is great. I did change a couple of things. I used chichen breasts without bones and I can’t use flour so I just omitted it. It didn’t say what kind of mushrooms to use so I used canned straw mushrooms. Really easy to do and the taste was wonderful. Everyone loved it.

    Thank you for sharing.
