Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts halved lengthwise (about 1.5 lb / 680 g)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour about 40 g
- 3 tablespoons olive oil about 45 ml
- 2 tablespoons butter about 28 g
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced (about 227 g)
- 1/2 cup sherry wine about 120 ml
- 1 18 oz can cream of mushroom soup (about 510 g)
- 6 slices Swiss or Muenster cheese about 120 g
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Once hot, brown the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- In the same skillet, add butter and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let cook until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in sherry and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, mixing well, and cook until heated through.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Top with cheese slices.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and turn oven to broil. Broil until cheese is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
