How to Make Southern Comfort Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs) on all sides, ensuring they are nicely seared. Set aside.
  3. Transfer the browned chicken to a greased casserole dish.
  4. Add 1 medium chopped onion to the same skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup of Southern Comfort (or mead!), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the casserole dish.
  7. Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
