Today I’m sharing with you a recipe that I tried a week or so ago for my family. It’s a great, hearty chicken dinner, perfect for the fall/winter months. Some evenings I hate baked dishes because it means I need to prep earlier than usual, but on the other hand once I get it in the oven I am able to get all of the prep dishes cleaned before we even sit down at the dinner table. For some reason that brings a smile to my face :) I served this dish with rice which complemented it perfectly and everyone highly approved!
Here is the recipe via Cooking with Sugar:
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Start to Finish: 1 hour
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts, trimmed and filleted in half lengthwise
- 1/3 cup of flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 (8 oz) container of sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of sherry wine
- 1 small can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 6 slices of Muenster cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, dredge lightly in flour to coat both sides. Shake off excess.
Add oil to frying pan and brown chicken in batches on both sides. You don’t need to cook the chicken completely. It will finish cooking in the oven. Transfer the chicken to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Add the butter to the frying pan and let it melt over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and brown mushrooms until golden. Then add the sherry wine and cook for another minute or two. Add the creamy mushroom soup and milk and mix well.
Pour sauce over the chicken breasts, cover with foil and bake in oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top each piece of chicken with one slice of Muenster cheese. You can fold the cheese in half if it is too wide for the breast.
Place chicken back in oven uncovered and broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
