Best Chicken Breasts With Sherry Cream And Mushroom Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SHERRY, CREAM AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Trim all bits of fat and membrane from the chicken breasts. In a shallow bowl combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge breasts in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Have a warm, ovenproof plate ready.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and oil. Add chicken breasts and cook just until the thickest part springs back when pressed, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to the warm plate and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce. The recipe may be prepared to this point up to 15 minutes ahead of serving time.
• If the butter has browned too much, pour it out and add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add mushrooms, garlic and green onion, turn the heat to high and saute until the mushrooms just begin to soften. Add sherry, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add cream, bring to a boil and reduce to a thick sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Return chicken breasts to pan and turn to coat with sauce. Serve topped with mushrooms and sauce (and rice on the side, if desired).
