Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups dry sherry wine
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly add the sherry wine to deglaze the pan. Stir constantly to form a smooth mixture.
Pour the sherry mixture over the chicken in the crock pot.
Add the chicken broth, sliced mushrooms, dried thyme, and dried parsley to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken with its sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
