This is a fabulous recipe. I had the same recipe from Cafe Budapest chef's cookbook many years ago and I had forgotten the fact that it had sherry in it. So glad to see the recipe again. Simple and wonderful.

Delicious! I used to make a version of this years ago and forgot the ingredients. I used to use 2 pks Near east Rice Pilaf original , toasted in a dutch oven (after browning the chicken bites) and then just pour the large can of tomatoes in with a cup of water. I used to add parsley and paprika, but never tried sherry, onions or garlic. I still use my rice technique, but the incorporation of the additional ingredients put it over the top.

This is way better than a keeper! The whole crew snarfed it down so fast that there are no leftovers. We will keep this as an indispensible recipe, easy to make and just wonderful. Thanks, JC, for posting this.
