Comfort food at it's best! Tender chicken you can cut with a fork, simmered in a Sherry wine sauce. This recipe came from my dear friend, Madelyn Charpentier who left us too soon. The original recipe handwritten by her will be posted. I made a couple of changes

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless chicken breast or tenders
2 clove minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
2/3 c milk
1/3 c pale dry cocktail sherry

Steps:

  • 1. Saute chicken breast or tenders (I've used both) in olive oil until lightly brown on all sides. Remove chicken and saute garlic (also onion if you like), add cream of chicken soup and milk and mix well. Note: salt and pepper chicken on both sides before cooking.
  • 2. Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon sauce over chicken, place sliced rings of onion over the top. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. The sliced onion rings on top make for a nice presentation, but I like my onion cooked in the sauce.
  • 3. Add 1/3 cup of Sherry and simmer 5-10 minutes more. I sometimes add a little extra Sherry and mushrooms as shown in picture.
  • 4. Serve with mashed potato's (my fav.) or steams rice.

This is a creamy, rich tasting chicken bake that is amazingly easy. The sauce is also great over mashed potatoes. For a low-fat dish, substitute reduced fat soups and sour cream.

Tips for Making Sherry Wine Sauce Chicken:

  • Use a high-quality sherry wine. A good sherry will add a rich, nutty flavor to the sauce.
  • Do not boil the sherry wine. Boiling will cook off the alcohol and ruin the flavor of the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the sauce over chicken, pork, or fish.
  • Garnish the dish with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Sherry wine sauce chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The rich, nutty flavor of the sherry wine pairs perfectly with the chicken, and the sauce is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give sherry wine sauce chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
