CREAMED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS, PEARL ONIONS & SHERRY
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.

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.
