This smothered chicken is a little bit different than most smothered chicken recipes I have seen, but this is how grandma always made it. It is delicious! Looking at the ingredients, I also believe it is low-carb! - I am an on-again, off-again Dr. Atkins devotee. This "diet" does work, I just give up too soon when the carb cravings get too strong! This dish has all of "the good stuff" - bacon, cheese, mushrooms... mmmm!

How To Make grandma's smothered chicken

  • 1
    Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle with garlic powder and seasoned salt.
  • 2
    In a large, non-stick skillet brown chicken in oil for about 4 minutes on each side. Top with the mushrooms, cheese, green onions and bacon. Pour over about a half can of chicken broth.
