smothered chicken

 

Mom always cooked her smothered chicken in the oven to finish it off.. I prefer it that way, but this is quicker of you are short on time.

It is still good! But if you prefer the oven then preheat it to 350*.

When you finish the gravy, pour it over the chicken in a long pan. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered thew last 10 minutes.I use foil when I cook it covered...
