This recipe is one I invented just this evening. My wife and I had already eaten before I ever thought about taking pictures. My mother-in-law, who lives with us gave it good reviews. The chicken breast should be sliced crossways, rather than sliced into strips. The chicken we had looked like turkey breast; they were huge. So I only used one sliced into three pieces; but if the chicken is regular sized, you could do all four.

Sherried Chicken Breast

4 each slices of chicken breast, ½ inch thick
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs butter
I clove garlic, pressed
1 cup flour
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ cup diced onion
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 oz. cream cheese, cubed
¼ cup sherry

Melt oil and butter together in large skillet or pan. Mix oregano with flour and dredge chicken pieces in it. Brown chicken, onion, garlic and mushrooms in oil mixture. Turn chicken once and cover. Simmer on low for fifteen minutes. Add to pan the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, and sherry. Stir to mix with pan juices. Cover and simmer another five minutes. Serve with pasta of choice, or mashed potatoes. Pass grated parmesan at the table, as desired. This recipe may not need any added salt, since the soup has salt already, and cooking sherry from the grocery store has salt added.

I think I have about a quarter cup of sherry in the bottle! Gotta try this.

The cream cheese really adds body and texture as well as flavor. Thanks, Wayne.

Skip the grocery store sherry and go buy a decent bottle worth drinking. Grocery store sherry is disgusting!

I quite agree. Once while attempting to make wine, I had a whole bucket full oxidize after it had fermented. Not being one to waste anything (my parents grew up during the Great Depression,) I made a gallon of raisin, and blended them. Voila, sherry! I didn't even have to fortify it. My volunteer wine judges gave it a good review.

Agree also. I will not cook with a wine I would not drink.

If sherry is the wine of choice to grace 82 Queen's (Charleston SC) mega award winning She Crab Soup, then it's plenty good on anything else!

Copying and saving!

(Doug squints over at the recipe) How many cloves of garlic? Is that a 1 or a 7? It looks like a 7 we'll roll with that! :bigsmyl2:

Garlic will extend your lifespan, and keep vampires away.
