During a recent sleepless night, I started thinking about that chicken. I’m sure that most of you don’t think about food when you can’t sleep, but I do. I began to wonder about that recipe, and was pleased to find it via a Google search. At the time that I first made it, it was called “Irish Mist-ery” Chicken, but I found it as Irish Mist Chicken on Cooks.com. Then I wondered if Irish Mist even existed anymore, and come to find out, it does indeed; I managed to pick up the last bottle at the local market. I adapted the recipe slightly based upon what I had on hand, and enjoyed not only the tasty chicken, but those fond memories of youthful experimentation in the kitchen.
If you’re looking for something Irish for St. Patrick’s Day, but don’t care for corned beef, why not give Irish Mist Chicken a try?
Irish Mist Chicken
4 slices Black Forest deli ham
2 whole boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
10 oz. can cream
of mushroom soup
2/3 c. sour cream
½ c. Irish Mist Honey Liqueur
4 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Arrange slices of ham in the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking dish
(I recommend this
one because it’s green and so perfect for St.
Patrick's Day). On each slice of ham, place a chicken breast half. Mix
remaining ingredients and spoon over chicken, covering completely. Bake,
uncovered, for 1½ hours. Serve over
wild rice.

I can see how this dish would be a new dish for a young couple, Pattie...It does seem really easy and I'm sure comes together in a pinch. Love the back story...Ah those days:)
As a matter of fact, I do spend many a sleepless night thinking about food, blogging and of course the calendar. I think it is unusual but looks like I'm not alone!
Thanks for sharing, Pattie...
Saw a picture of this on Facebook and raced over to look at the recipe. Looks wonderful Pattie! Love the story behind it too.
This looks delicious. I don't think I've ever had Irish Mist...I'm going to try it. Thank You for sharing at Simple Saturdays.
I read it and then thought I missed something and went back. No. It really is that easy!!!
I have never had Irish Mist. What flavor is that, besides honey?
