CHICKEN SHERRY (EASY AND SUPER DELICIOUS)



Chicken Sherry (Easy and Super Delicious) image

I created this very easy recipe many years ago that everyone has loved. Many years ago, for a short while, I was the chef at the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta for Governor and First Lady Busbee. Jackie Kennedy had been a dinner guest when I served this recipe, and she wanted to give it to her chef. I refused and Jackie was furious to say the least. She went to her grave never getting this recipe, and now that I am posting it on RecipeZaar, the entire world will have it. Even a beginner cook can make this recipe. If you have any questions e-mail me: [email protected]

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 -8 large chicken breasts (whole boned and skinned)
4 cups sour cream (real sour cream)
1/2 cup drinking sherry wine or 1/2 cup cream sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup butter
paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a deep baking dish, place 4 cans cream of mushroom soup, 4 cups sour cream, 1/2 cup drinking or cream sherry, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 stick of melted butter, and mix well.
  • Bury the chicken breasts in the mix and then sprinkle with paprika. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, at 375 degrees F. for 60 minutes.
  • (Use the sauce over the chicken breasts, and as a gravy over stuffing and/or mashed potatoes) (The left over gravy can also be frozen and used in the future as a gravy over any mashed potatoes, biscuits, toast, poultry or fish.).

Tips:

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs: They're more flavorful and juicy than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Sear the chicken before braising it: This will help to develop a nice brown crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: Sherry, chicken broth, and vegetables make a great combination. You can also add herbs, spices, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Braise the chicken for at least 1 hour, or until it is cooked through: The longer you braise it, the more tender it will be.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides: Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Sherry chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best sherry chicken you've ever had. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give sherry chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
