  1. Delicious smothered chicken! The wine and nutmeg really set it apart from others I've tried, I really like this one most of all.. Your suggestion to serve with 'very buttery mashed potatoes' is especially what drew me to this, lol.. This is a great comfort food, and my kids were going bonkers while it was cooking - the house smells fantastic when its cooking.. thanks for posting..
