Smothered chicken recipe?

Can someone post a good smothered chicken recipe?
I have a pound of chicken breasts ready to be used and I would love to eat a smothered version of this.

Are the chix breasts bone in/skin on? If so, then chop an onion, a green pepper, and a couple ribs of celery...cook the onion in a little butter until well browned, then add the green pepper & cook until wilted. Scrape this stuff out of the pot onto a plate, add a little more butter & put the breasts into the pot, skin-side down. Cook until the skin is well colored, take breasts out of pot, add liquid (maybe a little wine, apple juice, or chix broth) and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits. Add the browned veg, breasts, and some chopped carrot to the pot. Liquid should not completely submerge the breasts.
Add a couple of bay leaves, salt, pepper, thyme. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer, then cover. Cook for 25 minutes or so, until the chicken easily separates from the bone. Remove the skin and debone chicken, if you'd like.
See, smothering is a process, not a recipe. You can sprinkle the chicken w/a little flour if you like a thicker gravy, you can start w/bacon grease if so inclined, or add chopped tomato if you want.

I always do either this or add a sprinkle flour to my veggies before pouring in the liquid (1/2 chicken broth 1/2 white wine).

Grandmothers recipe for smothered chicken.
Smother some onions, one can/bottle of chipped beef, 2 cans of golden mushroom soup, green onions, white wine.
Line the bottom of the baking dish with the onions and chipped beef, chicken on top of that with pepper you don't really need extra salt, pour the 2 cans of golden mushroom soup over then chicken, add the wine, cover and bake. Add green onions when you serve.
I know the chipped beef sounds weird but it works.
