Comfort food at it's best! Tender chicken you can cut with a fork, simmered in a Sherry wine sauce. This recipe came from my dear friend, Madelyn Charpentier who left us too soon. The original recipe handwritten by her will be posted. I made a couple of changes

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless chicken breast or tenders
2 clove minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
2/3 c milk
1/3 c pale dry cocktail sherry

Steps:

  • 1. Saute chicken breast or tenders (I've used both) in olive oil until lightly brown on all sides. Remove chicken and saute garlic (also onion if you like), add cream of chicken soup and milk and mix well. Note: salt and pepper chicken on both sides before cooking.
  • 2. Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon sauce over chicken, place sliced rings of onion over the top. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. The sliced onion rings on top make for a nice presentation, but I like my onion cooked in the sauce.
  • 3. Add 1/3 cup of Sherry and simmer 5-10 minutes more. I sometimes add a little extra Sherry and mushrooms as shown in picture.
  • 4. Serve with mashed potato's (my fav.) or steams rice.

This is a creamy, rich tasting chicken bake that is amazingly easy. The sauce is also great over mashed potatoes. For a low-fat dish, substitute reduced fat soups and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a good quality sherry: The sherry you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a sherry that is dry and has a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it over medium heat and not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Reduce the sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and reduce the sauce over medium heat. This will concentrate the flavors and give the sauce a thicker consistency.
  • Serve immediately: Sherry wine sauce is best served immediately after it is made. This is when it will be at its most flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sherry wine sauce is a classic sauce that is perfect for chicken. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The sauce is rich and flavorful, with a slightly nutty flavor from the sherry. It is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your next chicken dinner.
