    And there are literally thousands of recipes out there and Amish kitchens for how to prepare chicken. Many of them are similar. Few are very difficult. You can roll chicken in butter and cornflakes and bake it. You can fry it in butter and cornflakes. You can dump Coke over it you can roll it in crumbs you can pour molasses over it, and on and on and on and on.

    I like this recipe because it truly is an all-in-one meal that just dirties one skillet, so you don't have a bunch of dishes. The green beans add nice color and flavor. Green beans and chicken wouldn't typically be my first choice, but it works in this recipe.

    The chicken can be prepared in any kind of skillet. Most Amish cooks would use a cast-iron skillet, which is what I recommend. My next choice would be a stainless steel skill. My parents made it in some sort of non-stick skillet.

    Mushrooms are one of my favorites and make this chicken dish nice and "mushroomy."

    One of the biggest flavor-enhancers for this dish is a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. Just sprinkle it over the chicken and let it do the work. Yes, you will find plenty of Amish cooks using that type of seasoning shortcut.
