Chicken in Sherry Sauce (Gluten Free)

This is a Bette Hagman recipe. So few ingredients, yet such a rich meal. We made it dairy free also and everyone loved it, although hubby had to dig out the mushrooms! I cut the breasts into strips, although that makes it harder to brown than whole breasts. She says she serves mashed potatoes to put extra sauce over. Prep time depends on the chicken you use.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  chicken breast halves or 6  chicken thighs
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 4  tablespoons  powdered  cream soup (gluten free, see Gluten Free Cream Soup Base (Powdered))
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1  cup chicken broth or 1  cup water
• 1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, undrained (I drain and rinse them to reduce sodium)
• 1⁄2 cup  golden sherry wine

Directions

1. In a large skillet, brown the chicken in the olive oil.
2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the soup base. Mix the powdered soup base with the 1/4 C water in a small pan. Add chicken broth and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
3. Add the mushrooms and the sherry. and pour over the browned chicken to cover.
4. Reduce heat and cook until the chicken is tender.
5. Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
