Creamed Chicken With Mushrooms Pearl Onions Sherry Recipes

CHICKEN WITH A SHERRY MUSHROOM SAUCE

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.

SHERRY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken in the melted butter until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and mushrooms in the same skillet; add olive oil. Cook until onion and mushrooms are slightly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sherry and chicken broth into the skillet, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes.
• Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer chicken and onion mixture until liquid is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Spoon onion and mushrooms atop each chicken breast and top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Remove skillet from heat; cover skillet until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

CREAMED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS, PEARL ONIONS & SHERRY

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.

CREAMED PEAS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS.

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Add the mushrooms and onions and saute, stirring, until mushrooms are golden and onions are tender.
• Stir in flour until well blended.
• Add the chicken broth and milk.
• Cook, stirring, until thickened. Add the hot cooked and drained peas and seasonings.

SHERRY SOUR CREAM CHICKEN

• In a large skillet, saute chicken in butter/margarine until browned. Remove chicken and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Add sour cream and sherry to butter/margarine in skillet. Stir together until smooth. Season chicken with rosemary, thyme salt and pepper to taste. Then pour the sherry/cream mixture over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

CREAMED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, carrots, potatoes, herbs and garlic. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups broth; bring to boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Mix condensed soup and cream into vegetables. Add chicken. Simmer until heated through, thinning with additional broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
