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

  • 2 clove
    minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp
    olive oil

How To Make chicken in sherry wine sauce

  • 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.
