Ingredients:
- 8 chicken breasts
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sherry wine
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- Optional: slivered almonds
Instructions:
-
Prepare Casserole Dish: Generously butter a casserole dish (9 x 13) and spread onion soup mix evenly over the bottom of the dish.
-
Layer Chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the onion soup mix.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the sherry wine, half-and-half, and any remaining butter. Mix well to combine.
-
Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
-
Add Garnishes: Sprinkle the chicken with parsley flakes, and if desired, add a handful of slivered almonds for extra crunch and flavor. Dust lightly with paprika for a pop of color.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven until it is cooked through and tender, approximately 2 hours. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley flakes if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes for a truly memorable meal experience.
