Who Puts Grapes In Baked Chicken?

Well, that would be me! 

So, tonight I thought I would look for the tried and true recipes of long ago! 

(would love to do a cookbook titled that!) 

I used to make this wonderful chicken dish and so did my mother in law! 

Now granted....we used green grapes!

I can assure you these red grapes were even better!

And I love the color they add for a 'Fall' entertaining dish!

Just promise me you will try this! It's amazing! I first saw this recipe in our very own Junior League of Birmingham cookbook....Magic Cookbook! Love the name...in fact, I think it needs a second printing if you ask me! It's my go to, all time favorite cookbook! 

Try this recipe and let me know what you think!

Yes, grapes are in fact what makes this wonderful chicken recipe elegant and yet understated!

 After browning the chicken in butter and placing it in your casserole dish you are basically through! 

It doesn't get much easier than this!

Adding your green onions takes no time at all!

Next comes the chicken broth and white wine.

It's about to be covered in foil and put in the oven for 45 minutes! That gives you plenty of time to set the table or make that salad!

While it's cooking you can sauté the mushrooms...

 See...now they are ready to go on top of the chicken!

 And after ten more minutes you just put those grapes right on top! You're almost ready to eat!

 I was so glad I remembered this dish! Sometimes, when life is tough or we just need a good meal it's great to go back to those long ago dishes!

 All I need now is for you to be here eating with me and Jim!

 It was a wonderful meal! 

Of course I made enough for us to have leftovers! 

 If leftovers make my life easier I will always make enough for that! 

And if I don't want to eat leftovers they make great meals to send back to Auburn with Miller! 

And I cannot tell a lie! I'm really hoping my sweet Holly will see this and add this to her recipe collection! What a wonderful cook she has become! And I love the fact that she loves to entertain and do for others! A girl after my own heart! And my precious Layton loves any fruit so I feel certain she will love this recipe along with her sweet parents...all in all...you can't go wrong when you cook for the right reasons! In my world that means cooking for my family and trying "Tried and True" recipes handed down from generations!

I would love to know your thoughts on this wonderful chicken dish! I served mine with wild rice and asparagus. Oh, and wonderful semi-homemade rolls! If you would like that recipe just let me know!

Have a great rest of your week!
