Best Ever Chicken
This creamy chicken and mushrooms recipe is the best chicken recipe ever! Your family will ask for it again and again for dinner.
Horrible instructions! Must be missing a few steps. We had to take the chicken back out and pan fry them. The “mushroom sauce” turned out to be too watery – had to boil it done after cooking and then added brown gravy mix. Will not be making this again. And yes I followed the very limited directions.
Bake for 2hrs? That seems a little long for pieces of chicken. A whole chicken can be cooked in that amount of time. Should it read 1 hr? Unless you’re using huge pieces?
I use chicken stock, when cooking and not bouillon cubes because of the high sodium content. Can I substitute, and if so, how much. Thank you.
@Charlene, I would say 2 cups. That would substitute for the 2 cups of water that would be used in combination with the cubes.

I love this recipe. I know I modified it but not by much. It was fantastic. Thank you!!
“Fifteen minutes before it is done, add thyme and cream and finish baking uncovered.” not in print version. I guess nobody corrects anything anymore.
wait, can you show me what you mean? I can correct it if I understand what you mean.
The “print recipe” version does not have the directions to add the thyme and cream .
Thank you! I was wondering when the whipping cream would come in the recipie!
