This recipe is fantastic. I've made it quite a few times. However I use 1 cup of italian dressing and 1 package of onion soup mix.

I do not recommend making this in a slow cooker. The flavor was way to acidic and I ended up adding 2 chopped potatoes to make it more tolerable.

I definately agree with everyone who says to double the sauce amount. I used fresh mushrooms which also added moer liquid. I was a bit disappointed with how little flavor there was despite the dressing and onion soup mix. I did however love how moist the chicken was and the extra sauce to put over mashed potatos or rice. I WILL make this again and perhaps add some garlic, salt, pepper, and other spices of my own. Thanks for sharing!

This was Fabulous!!! I did increase the amount of sauce as others suggested, specifically: (my bird was over 5lbs.) I used 1 1/2c Italian dressing, 2 pkgs Onion soup mix and 1 teaspoon Oregano. Baked 45 min. Then I topped with 8oz fresh mushrooms, sliced, and about a cup of cherry tomatoes, halved, and baked another 30-40 minutes. The house smelled amazing and everyone cleaned their plates! The sauce was delicious over creamy mashed potatoes. This one's a keeper for sure!

We LOVE this recipe. I usually double the "sauce" and we eat it over mashed potatoes. I have also tried it in a crock pot (minus the tomatoes)and I thought it was even better, as it allowed the chicken to "marinate" more. Thanks for a great recipe.

Excellent! I was a bit wary of putting two packets of soup mix in but did and it was delicious. Make sure you double the sauce for your potatoes!
