CREAMED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS, PEARL ONIONS & SHERRY
Two nights in a row my husband suggested Creamed Chicken. I really didn't want any part of that but I gave in. He perused the internet and found this recipe. I added pearl onions to the recipe. Don't omit the sherry, it really makes this dish. I served over toast points. Pure comfort food. Prep and serving time does not include making toast points, patty shells or rice.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add pearl onions and swirl them around for a few minutes to season the butter. Remove the onions from the butter and set aside.
- Blend in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, whisking continually, careful not to overly brown the roux.
- Add the chicken broth and cream and stir until thickened and smooth.
- Add the chicken and mushrooms and pearl onions and cook for 1 minute, or until mixture begins to bubble.
- Season to taste and then stir in the sherry.
- Simmer on lowest heat setting for 15 -20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Careful not to burn.
- Serve over toast points, puff pastry patty shells or rice.
- NOTE: Now you can get fancier than this but because this sauce is plenty rich, I used plain toast to make toast points. Toast several slices of a hearty white bread. Remove the crusts, and slice on a diagonal getting 2-4 triangles per slice.
- Serve with a side of peas.

- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; cook and stir until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, whisking frequently, until sauce is bubbling, thickened, and smooth, about 8 minutes.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your creamed chicken will taste. Opt for organic, free-range chicken and fresh, flavorful mushrooms and onions.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam instead of brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. If the sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and bring to a simmer until thickened.
- Serve immediately: Creamed chicken is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy. It can be served over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Creamed chicken with mushrooms and pearl onions is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make.
