What could taste better than bacon, wine, mushroom, onions and spices with this chicken recipe. I used chicken breasts, but could use thighs, or whole chicken parts, or turkey too. This is creamy and delicious. I was going to make mashed potatoes, but I changed my mind and made rice for the sauce over top....Mmmmmm

    Remove all but 2 Tablespoons of grease from the pan. Add onions and mushrooms and cook on low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and onions have started to soften, about 3 minutes, season with salt. Add the wine and corn syrup, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

    Return chicken to the skillet and cover. Lower heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes. Move chicken pieces to a large platter. Turn heat to medium high under the skillet and cook the sauce for about 2 minutes to thicken. Stir in the cream, bacon and parsley, stir and cook 1 minute. Pour over chicken. Serve family-style, with warm crusty bread, buttered rice with chopped parsley or noodles..Mmmm. this was so good!

    Note: The powdered milk helps the chicken brown and keep the sauce on the chicken,as does the corn syrup.
