Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 Chicken Breasts
Salt and Pepper
2 tablespoons Butter
2 cloves of Garlic (crushed or chopped)
8 ounces Sliced Mushrooms (I like baby bella)
1 cup Dry Sherry
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 teaspoon Thyme

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the skillet. Then add 1/4 cup of sherry. Cook the chicken for 3 minutes per side, until browned. Then remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate while you work on the sauce.
  • Melt another tablespoon of butter in the same skillet you just used to cook the chicken. Add the garlic and stir, scraping up any brown bits. After a minute add the mushrooms. Generously salt and pepper and toss until the mushrooms are evenly coated with butter. Cook for 2 minutes. Then add the remaining sherry. Let the mushrooms simmer for another 4 minutes. Then stir in the cream and thyme. Let the sauce reduce for 5 minutes then add the chicken back to the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 30 minutes so that the chicken can finish cooking. (Make sure you are using an oven-safe skillet!)
  • After 30 minutes in the oven the chicken should be done - serve it with pasta or rice pilaf. Spoon the sauce over the top.

SHEET-PAN TARRAGON CHICKEN WITH SHERRY VINEGAR ONIONS



Sheet-Pan Tarragon Chicken With Sherry Vinegar Onions image

Roasting chicken with tarragon is a classic combination, but here it's given a twist. Instead of a whole bird, bone-in thighs are marinated in tarragon and garlic, then quickly roasted over a bed of sliced onions. As the chicken cooks, the fat renders, coating the onions, while the fragrant steam rising from the onions flavors the bird. It's a succulent, easy and very flavorful dinner. If you'd rather use all white meat, substitute bone-in chicken breast halves, and start checking them after 20 minutes.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 7h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup finely chopped tarragon (leaves and tender stems), plus 4 whole sprigs
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, more as needed
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (skin on)
2 large onions, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
4 thyme sprigs
Sherry vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together tarragon, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 6 hours, and up to overnight.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread onions out on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss well. Clear spaces on the baking pan, then place chicken pieces in the cleared spaces so the onions surround the chicken. Strew thyme and tarragon sprigs over onions and chicken.
  • Roast, tossing the onions after 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the onions tender, 25 to 35 minutes. If the chicken skin or onions are not as brown as you'd like, run pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of cooking.
  • Place chicken on a platter. Drizzle onions with sherry vinegar and more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon onions around the chicken and serve.

SHERRY'S CHICKEN



Sherry's Chicken image

This family favourite comes from my friend Sherry. Easy to make, rarely any leftovers, and if there are, it microwaves well the next day.

Provided by chez patty

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken and broccoli soup
1/3 cup sherry wine (i usually will substitute 1/3 cup apple juice for the sherry)
3 cups herb stuffing mix

Steps:

  • Place chicken in pan.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of chicken.
  • Combine soup and sherry, and pour on top of cheese.
  • Sprinkle stuffing mix over top.
  • Cover with tinfoil.
  • Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour, till chicken is tender.
  • Remove tinfoil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using bone-in chicken, be sure to remove the skin and bones before cooking.
  • Use a good quality sherry: A dry sherry is best for this recipe. Avoid using a sweet or cream sherry, as it will overpower the other flavors in the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, be sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Sherry chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make the dish ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Sherry chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sherry, garlic, and herbs creates a flavorful and aromatic sauce that pairs perfectly with chicken. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
