Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup sherry wine
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent.
4. Deglaze the skillet with the sherry wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for a minute.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and flour until well combined. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Stir well.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until heated through.
8. Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Serve the Swiss Sherry Chicken over rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
