Smothered Chicken

4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts

12 ounces mushrooms – fresh or canned

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can french onion soup

Celery – chopped

1 cup of Corn (optional)

Cut chicken breast into stew size chucks, and sauté while washing and cutting mushrooms in half.  If you opted for the canned mushroom pour the water off of the canned mushrooms, and rinse mushrooms off.   Then simply put ingredients in with chicken and simmer about 1 hour.  You can also do this in a crock pot and simmer all day until dinner time.  Serve over rice, or noodles if you prefer.
