Donna Matthews's Note:

An easy recipe that takes very little prep time but is good enough for company.

4. Wash chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towel.
5. Dredge chicken pieces through flour to coat and place skin side down in the pan with the melted butter.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, Whisk together soup and sherry until smooth; set aside.
8. At the end of the half hour, turn chicken pieces over and pour in the sherry mushroom sauce.

11. Note: for a lower calorie meal, I have used boneless skinless chicken breasts which I marinated in the sherry mushroom mixture overnight. Then I baked the chicken and sauce in a glass pan in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Do not overbake.
