Garlic Chicken and Wine

This recipe comes from a very funny book by the very funny and strange Amy Sedaris. The book is full of real recipes and funny craft ideas and anecdotes. It is called I Like You by Amy Sedaris Hospitality Under the Influence. It's kind of like Martha Stewart on crack. My favorite section is called "Panty Hose Crafts and Good Ideas". My son gave this to me for Christmas and I finally got down to making a recipe from the book and it turned out well. The flavor was really good and the chicken was very moist. I peeled my garlic, but that was the only change and I added the optional mushrooms. I did not use butter, because there was nothing in the instructions about it and I seasoned my chicken with salt and pepper before browning.
