My mom had a junior league cookbook from her home town, Brookhaven, MS that we had many times growing up..it was from this book called "Cooks from Old Brook". Its one of my favorites, elegant and easy and you can bake it in the oven or make it in the crock pot. Read more Since we learned how to make it in a crock pot however, how much easier and better is that? A lot!!! Great with Rice and a green veg or salad, particularly green beans with almonds. A southern classic. Paula Deen, would be jealous that she did not make this up. If you have company over, any time of year and have no idea what to make for them, with your busy schedule, this recipe is dedicated to YOU. xxxoo See less
Ingredients
- whole chicken breasts with ribs and rib meat. Pick between 3-5 depending on size. shopping list
- 1 can family size cream of mushroom soup shopping list
- 1 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 1 Tbsp Fresh or dried tarragon shopping list
- 1/4 tsp cayenne shopping list
- 1 large onion, chopped shopping list
- 1 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce shopping list

How to make it
- If you cook bacon that day, and / or have bacon grease then use it for fat in which to brown the chicken breasts on both sides, coating with some pepper, seasoned salt and a little sea salt , to taste. You can use butter or olive oil or whatever instead, but the bacon grease is perfect for this. Don't overdo the seasonings, but don't be shy with it either, i think. You can saute the onions with the chicken as well. Move those to your slow cooker or a casserole. Then just throw in all other ingredients. Turn on slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours or so until done, if using a crock pot. If baking, you can do a moderate oven for about 2 hours maybe, or a low oven for 3 or 4, just until chicken reaches the ideal internal temp if you use a meat thermometer in it.
