Provided by Erren Hart

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup flour (seasoned with salt and pepper)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
5 chicken thighs (bone-in with skin)
6 ounces pancetta (chopped)
1 large onion (chopped (about 1 cup))
5 garlic cloves (thin sliced or chopped)
1 lbs cremini mushrooms (or Baby Bella/Chestnut mushrooms)
1½ cups sherry
1½ cup chicken stock
fresh parsley (a good handful, chopped)
Salt and Pepper
3 tbsp butter (softened)
¼ cup flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.Dry the chicken by patting with paper towels and if you haven't Pre-seasoned, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour to coat.
  • In a large, ovenproof pan (12-inches will do), heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken in three batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown lightly for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the browned thighs, set aside and continue with the rest until all the chicken is browned and set aside.
  • Drain any excess fat from the pan and add the chopped pancetta and cook until crispy.
  • If necessary, remove from the pan, set aside and drain the excess fat (without wiping the pan). Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the bacon back to the pan along with chopped onion and cook until soft, but not brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add the mushrooms and saute until soft.
  • Add the sherry. Raise the heat to high, bring to boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Cook another 2 minutes to cook down the alcohol.
  • Add chicken stock and parsley. Return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Bake for 35 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer is about 165 degrees), the chicken should be very tender.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside. With a fork, mash together the butter and 3 tablespoons of flour and add it to the sauce.
  • Return to the stove, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened slightly.
  • Taste for seasoning and season to taste, put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.

One of my favorite recipes, this chicken with a sherry mushroom sauce is tender and loaded with rich flavors. Plus it comes together in under an hour, with just 20 minutes of active preparation time.

Provided by Kit

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.

CHICKEN IN CREAMY DIJON-SHERRY SAUCE



Chicken in Creamy Dijon-Sherry Sauce image

Provided by Tracey Chrenko

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Mustard     Poultry     Sauté     Sherry     Summer     Bon Appétit     Michigan

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
8 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 generous tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained
1 1/4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons dry Sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add mushrooms, onion and peppercorns to skillet and sauté until onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Add broth, cream, Sherry and mustard to skillet. Simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, scraping up browned bits, about 15 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Cook until chicken is just heated through, about 4 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Mise en place is key: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, be sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a good quality sherry: The sherry in this sauce is a key flavor component, so be sure to use a good quality one. A dry sherry is best, as it will not add any sweetness to the sauce.
  • Reduce the sauce until it is thick and flavorful: The sauce in this recipe is reduced until it is thick and flavorful. This helps to concentrate the flavors and create a rich, velvety sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the chicken with fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This easy chicken with sherry mushroom sauce is a quick and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It combines tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and a rich and flavorful sauce. The sauce is made with dry sherry, chicken broth, and sour cream, and it is reduced until it is thick and creamy. The chicken and mushrooms are cooked in the sauce until they are tender and flavorful. This dish is served over rice or pasta, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
