Creamed Chicken With Mushrooms, Pearl Onions & Sherry image

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.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth, I use Better than Bouillon- Chicken Base mixed with water
1/2 cup white pearl onion, frozen
1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped, I prefer fresh small crimini mushrooms for their color
1 tablespoon sherry wine
salt, as needed
ground pepper, to taste
6 patty shells, toast points, 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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce curdled. I think I might have added the cream too quickly.

I wasn't a fan of the sherry in this recipe. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll thin out the sauce a bit next time.

This creamed chicken dish was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the mushrooms and pearl onions added a nice touch of umami. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect comfort food meal.
