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 BREASTS WITH SHERRY, CREAM AND MUSHROOM SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Sherry, Cream and Mushroom Sauce image

This recipe originally came from a book called Enjoying American Wines issued by the California Culinary Academy in the mid-1980's. My favorite story about it was when making it on a camping trip to Key West. A man walked by our camp site as I was finishing the sauce and said "Something tells me that is not Cream of Mushroom soup!". Boy, was he right. This is a delicious dish that you can serve to anyone with pride. I've doubled the sauce ingredients from the original recipe because we usually serve it with rice (usually jasmine or basmati) and we like to have extra sauce on the rice. I've made this recipe more often than any other single recipe in my repertoire and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 4 breasts and 1 cup sauce, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken breast halves, boned and skinned
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter, more if needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Trim all bits of fat and membrane from the chicken breasts. In a shallow bowl combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge breasts in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Have a warm, ovenproof plate ready.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and oil. Add chicken breasts and cook just until the thickest part springs back when pressed, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to the warm plate and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce. The recipe may be prepared to this point up to 15 minutes ahead of serving time.
  • If the butter has browned too much, pour it out and add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add mushrooms, garlic and green onion, turn the heat to high and saute until the mushrooms just begin to soften. Add sherry, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add cream, bring to a boil and reduce to a thick sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • Return chicken breasts to pan and turn to coat with sauce. Serve topped with mushrooms and sauce (and rice on the side, if desired).

Chicken Breast With Sweet-And-Sour Sherry Sauce image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup oyster or shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup sliced shallots
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or good-quality wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry fino or oloroso sherry (do not use cream sherry)

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Add honey, and stir until it evaporates, less than a minute. Add vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dry, about 2 minutes. Add sherry, and cook, stirring once or twice, until mixture is syrupy and nearly dry, about 5 minutes. Add stock, and cook, stirring once or twice, until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low; keep warm.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful sauce, use a good quality dry sherry. A fino or Manzanilla sherry is a good choice.
  • If you don't have any dry sherry on hand, you can substitute white wine or chicken broth. However, the sauce will not be as flavorful.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

This easy-to-make chicken dish is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The sherry-mushroom sauce is creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands.
