Notes: When I graduated from IU, I didn't know how to cook anything. So I made photo copies of several of Nana's recipes, including this one, and stapled them to used computer punch cards. Nerd. Anyway, It's easy to make, healthy and so good! If you are going to be away, you can make it in the crock pot. Follow steps 1-5, then place chicken pieces and mushroom/garlic/flour/onion soup mix in crock pot. Add water, wine, parsley, bay leaf and thyme to cover the chicken. Cook on low for 8 hours. The sauce isn't as thick in the crockpot, but still tasty. Garnish with sauce and bacon.
