Chicken And Mushrooms In Sherry Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and toss with flour and season to taste.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tblsp of oil over high heat until hot but not smoking; brown chicken and transfer to a bowl.
• Heat remaining tblsp of oil until hot but not smoking and saute onions, garlic and mushrooms, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
• Add Sherry and lemon juice and deglaze skillet, stirring and scraping up brown bits.
• Stir in chicken, cream and broth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Bring to a boil and boil until thickened.
• Arrange noodles on a platter, spoon chicken and sauce over and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Trim all bits of fat and membrane from the chicken breasts. In a shallow bowl combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge breasts in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Have a warm, ovenproof plate ready.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and oil. Add chicken breasts and cook just until the thickest part springs back when pressed, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to the warm plate and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce. The recipe may be prepared to this point up to 15 minutes ahead of serving time.
• If the butter has browned too much, pour it out and add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add mushrooms, garlic and green onion, turn the heat to high and saute until the mushrooms just begin to soften. Add sherry, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add cream, bring to a boil and reduce to a thick sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Return chicken breasts to pan and turn to coat with sauce. Serve topped with mushrooms and sauce (and rice on the side, if desired).

Steps:

• For the mushroom saute: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add the thyme and shallots, and saute until the shallots begin to brown, 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the sherry and cook until it evaporates and then add several grinds of black pepper.
• Cook the spaghetti to al dente. Drain well and cool.
• For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan set over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 5 minutes to make a roux. Add the half-and-half, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the mushroom saute, cooked pasta, chicken and white sauce with 2 1/2 cups of the Cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the prepared casserole dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup melted butter and a dusting of smoked paprika. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Then, cover the casserole with foil and cook for 10 more minutes. Serve hot or cool to room temperature to store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add mushrooms, onion and peppercorns to skillet and sauté until onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Add broth, cream, Sherry and mustard to skillet. Simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, scraping up browned bits, about 15 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Cook until chicken is just heated through, about 4 minutes longer.

Steps:

• To make the herb crust, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Gruy ere cheese, parsley, basil and thyme. Blend and set aside.
• Cut away and discard the stems of all the mushrooms. Cut all the mushroom caps into fairly large bite-size pieces. They will shrink as they cook.
• Heat the butter in a skillet and add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates. The cooking time should be five to eight minutes. Scrape the mushrooms into a bowl and set aside.
• To the skillet add the Madeira, Sherry, cream, salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat about 10 minutes or until the sauce is reduced to about one-half cup.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high.
• Add the mushrooms to the cream sauce and blend. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a heat-proof serving dish. Cover with the herb and crumb mixture.
• Run the dish under the broiler and broil until the crust is nicely browned. Garnish, if desired, with sprigs of fresh parsley or fresh coriander leaves.
