Combine first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Add

golden brown.

Combine ham, coffee, 1/4 cup water, and sugar; pour over chicken. Bring to
a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cover and

Remove chicken and mushrooms with a slotted spoon, and place on a serving
platter; set aside, and keep warm.

with a wire whisk; add to cooking liquid in skillet. Bring to a boil, and
