Juicy Details
You can use cooking sherry or drinking sherry in this recipe. Cooking sherry is a staple in my kitchen because it not only adds a layer of flavor to many sauces, it is in several of our very favorite recipes like the ones below
Chicken and Mushroom Tetrazzini
Onion Stuffed Mushrooms with Rosemary Gruyere Croutons
Hungry? I hope so! Thanks so much for stopping by~

Sounds wonderful Jenna! I’m all for a meal that’s make-ahead with a 5 minute prep time 🙂
This looks amazing…must ck out the french onion soup, too. 🙂
and, by ALL MEANS….GET WAFFLES….Eggos are wonderful but homemade is better..go thrifting and you just might find a great waffle maker…:)
OK, I would consider myself a foodie, and I think this looks wonderful! I might add some chopped onion to the mushrooms for a bit of extra flavor. Looking forward to making this one!
Yes onion would be good! Thanks Carole, I tend to be a foodie snob sometimes myself, but some things just are simply good!
Just wanted to see if the Chicken with Mushroom Sherry Sauce can be made in the crockpot? What kind of cooking sherry do you use? Enjoy your recipes !
hi Cindy, when I was writing this post I thought, this would work in the crock pot too, but didn’t include the info since I haven’t actually tried it. I have made many similar recipes in the crock pot so I think it would work great! I would try high setting 3-4 hours or low setting 6-7 hours. Let me know how it turns out! I use Holland House Cooking Sherry or whatever my grocery has~ Thanks so much for stopping by~
Looks so good Jenna! Gotta love Cream of Mushroom soup…throw back just in time for the final season of Madn Men
ha! Thanks Johanne, from now on when I use C of M soup I will refer to it as Mad Men influenced!
I am definitely not a food snob and this sounds too wondefully easy not to try. I love that you stick it in the oven for 3 hours, Jenna.
Happy Easter to you and I know you’re looking forward to your little one that’s coming.
I think my husband would love this…thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
