Chicken in White Wine Sauce

I made this dish for about 10 people the other night. I added more chicken to the original recipe and doubled the vegetables and bacon, but I did not double the rest of the sauce ingredients. There was plenty. If you decide to make this recipe for more than 6 people, then you will have to remove the chicken and place in a baking dish to bake.
