ingredients
- 3⁄4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into thin 3-inch medallions)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour (to bread as needed)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 (10 ounce) package white mushrooms, sliced

- Add the chicken and cook for about 1 minute on each side until light golden.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Without cleaning the pan (unless you prefer to do so, but not cleaning will add extra flavor to sauce) add the remaining butter, and heat on medium-high until it stops bubbling.
- Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the water released from the mushrooms evaporates.
- Remove pan from fire.
- Add half of the sherry, return to fire and boil for 1 minute.

This. Was. Awesome! And so easy to make!! I did substitute chicken stock for the sherry, but other than that I followed the recipe to a "T". I can't wait to make this again! Thank you for posting! -
This made a very elegant lunch for the four of us. We thought the beef gravy flavor detracted a bit, but the dish as a whole is still pretty tasty! Easy to do and presents itself very well. Made for PRMR, March 09. -
Delicious, quick and very easy to prepare, and wonderfully clear instructions. The only thing that left me puzzled was the reference to 45 minutes cooking time at the top of the recipe. I halved the reipe for two of us, though I doubled the garlic (personal taste preference), and we enjoyed it with noodles. I rarely make gravy, so I used a commercial gravy mix. Loved the mushroom sauce. There wasn't a lot left over (just a small portion for my cat) so I cannot see the full amount serving six, even if there were several side-dishes, so if you are making this for six, I'd suggest using more chicken and slightly increasing all the other ingredients. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Michelle. -
This was a lovely dish. I did not make any changes except that I uses baby bella mushrooms instead of white. The recipe was easy to follow and quick to put together. Thanks for sharing! -
I REALLY like this recipe a whole lot. I changed it a bit to make it more healthy. I did not pan fry it, but broiled it. So I skipped the butter for frying and used PAM cooking spray and broiled each side of the chicken breast. I used margine instead of butter and usd low sodium leftover gravy. The sauce was SO good! I served this over brown rice for a great meal.

I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other [boys] all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out - I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war - Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

I love to cook and to bake and to watch people enjoy the food that I make, and most of all I enjoy this 'practice' period I have - to prepare me for when I have a family of my own :)
