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.

CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN WHITE WINE REDUCTION
This was originally a recipe for Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction that I converted for my daughter who didn't like beef at the time. I serve it with Rissoto and Grilled Asparagus and Carrots. It is a nice easy dinner for 2 on a work night when you don't have a lot of time or energy, but can be multiplied for dinner parties when you want the compliments also without expending a lot of time or energy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a zip closure bag.
- Very lightly oil the chicken with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the mixture liberally over all sides of the chicken and press into the meat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium high heat.
- Sear the chicken for a minute or so on all sides, sprinkle with Tarragon.
- Add ¼ cup of chicken broth to the skillet (to prevent smoking in the oven and keep meat moist).
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast chicken for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove skillet from oven; transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and allow meat to rest. You can prepare up to this point and hold the meat under the foil for 35- 45 minutes if needed.
- Do not wash skillet or discard the roasting juices and bits. With skillet still hot, add the chopped onion and cook for a minute or so. Add ½ cup chicken broth to the skillet, scraping all the caramelized juices and bits with a spoon.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil to reduce the volume of the sauce by about half.
- If holding the final preparation, stop at this point, cover skillet, and turn heat off.
- Just before serving, slice the chicken into ¾" to 1" medallions.
- Return skillet to medium high heat, add about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the sauce and allow it to melt, taste and if needed adjust with a pinch or salt or pepper.
- Return the medallions to the hot pan and gently warm them in the sauce until completely cooked.
- Remove the medallions to warmed platter or serving plate, pour sauce over them, and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken medallions are cooked evenly, ensure they are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
- Seasoning the chicken medallions before cooking enhances their flavor. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic taste.
- Searing the chicken medallions in a hot pan creates a golden-brown crust, sealing in the juices and flavor.
- Using a flavorful cooking liquid, such as chicken broth or white wine, adds depth to the sauce. You can also use a combination of liquids for a more complex flavor.
- Adding mushrooms to the sauce provides a savory and earthy flavor. Use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms, for a more complex flavor.
- Sweet sherry adds a sweet and slightly nutty flavor to the sauce. If you don't have sweet sherry, you can substitute dry sherry or another sweet white wine.
- To thicken the sauce, use a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is added to the sauce and cooked until it thickens.
- Serve the chicken medallions with sweet sherry mushroom sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Chicken medallions with sweet sherry mushroom sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken medallions are tender and juicy, while the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
