If you’re looking for a chicken recipe that isn’t too much of a hassle yet still offers rich flavor and presentation, your search is over! This main dish is infused with a delicious, gourmet flavor, looks pretty, and is really easy to prepare. Try as a capon or stuffed chicken breast too, if you’d like to go a bit fancier!
In a medium-sized saucepan, sauté onions in oil until golden. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened. Add garlic and stir to combine. Add next six ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Using a slotted spoon, stuff each chicken bottom with two to three heaping tablespoons of the mushroom mixture and place in a 9×13-inch baking pan. Pour remaining mushrooms and sauce over the chicken. Cover tightly and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for two hours; uncover, baste, and bake an additional half hour. Spoon remaining mushrooms atop chicken and serve.
Notes:
For those of you who love mushrooms, add a couple extra while they are sautéing; it will boost the delicious, earthy flavor, and you can add them to the ones on top of the chicken before serving.
What’s a chicken bottom?
The directions say “ Add garlic and stir to combine. Add next six ingredients and bring to a boil.” But following the garlic, I see just 4 ingredients (thyme, salt, pepper, and the chicken bottoms). What else is there?
The chicken bottom is the thigh and the pulkie (drum bone). It seems to me that the other ingredients are the broth, the wine and the water.
Beautiful and delicious.
Can this be frozen?
yes

From Faigy:
I would recommend cooking stuffed white chicken breasts for approx. 45 minutes, but don’t overdo it because it can dry out.
