"I got this recipe from my mom. The sherry adds a wonderful flavor!! I've tried to get the right amounts for the ingredients. I always just put them together without exact measurements. Hopefully this is pretty darn close!"

This is really good, I had to make a couple of substitutions only because it was what I had...so instead of liguine we had leftover spaghetti so that was used up and I had no whole chicken (and no time to cook one either) so I had 8 boneless skinless chicken steaks and zapped them in the microwave while the sauce was cooking then just chunked them in. I liked the cheese slices but next time I will use a combo of shredded cheddar and american as we are converted cheese heads (dont ask!) This was a great supper tonite with a salad and dessert...Thanx jovigirl for one the kids have requested again!
