Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cooking sherry
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
Instructions
-
Begin by chopping the raw chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook quickly and evenly, making them perfect for this quick recipe.
-
Thinly slice the mushrooms to allow them to cook down properly, enhancing their flavor and texture in the final dish.
-
Finely chop the garlic to infuse its aroma throughout the dish.
-
In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the olive oil and cooking sherry over medium-low heat. This will create a rich base for your dish.
-
Add the finely chopped garlic to the pan and sauté until it turns a golden brown. This step is crucial for developing a deep, savory flavor.
-
Incorporate the chopped chicken into the pan. Cook the chicken just until it is no longer pink, ensuring that it remains tender and juicy.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their natural juices.
-
Once the mushrooms have softened, drain any excess liquid from the pan to prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
-
Stir in the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup. Mix well until everything is combined and the mixture starts to bubble gently.
-
Allow the mixture to simmer until it is heated through and has thickened slightly.
-
Serve this savory chicken and mushroom mixture over a bed of white rice. For a complete meal, consider adding some peas and carrots on the side to complement the rich flavors of the dish.
Enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any night of the week!
