Excellent recipe! I did it in the crockpot and it took only 6 hours on low then I turned it to keep warm and left it there for 3 more hours. I used beer as suggested instead od wine, added 1 1/2 tsp garlic and 1 1/2 tsp hot chili flakes. I had company and everyone loved it . thanks for a keeper. UPDATE: This is the second time I have made this chicken easy and good! It only takes about 15 minutes to put together, including sauting the mushrooms and onions. I substituted Tomatoe Basil soup instead of the Tomatoe bisque. Again ,added some garlic skipped the basil, used beer instead of wine and added some chili flakes. My company was coming for lunch so I prepared the sauce the night before put it in the fridge,and added the chicken in the AM, turned on to low at 6 AM and luch was served at 12:30. Served with plain steamed rice, Baby carrots & frozen peas, Nutty beans and fresh baked Danish for dessert. There were no complaints. Nice and easy luncheon after all the Christmas cooking, Thanks again Zaar

I made this for dinner when we had 13 people over a few weeks ago. They LOVED this recipe--asking with wonder, "What is IN this!?!? This is excellent!" I added fresh cracked pepper and some red pepper flakes. I omitted tomato soup or bisque--I didn't have any on hand, and no time to run to the store--but it still tasted amazing. The chicken was SO TENDER! THANKS!

This was the first crockpot dish I've ever made and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. I simply put everything in the pot, and turned it on while I was at work (12 hours). It wasn't even dry when I finally came home. The order I put it in: onions, mushrooms, chicken, everything else. Also, I used beer (Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat - that's all we had in the house) and it tasted wonderful. Even my husband loved it. Much thanks for a good recipe.
