Preparation

Step 1

In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and mushrooms in butter 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and beginning to brown. Stir in sugar. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very brown.
Stir gravy and sherry into vegetables. Add chicken to skillet; spoon sauce over chicken.
Cover; cook 5 to 10 minutes, turning chicken after half the cooking time, until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with parsley.


Kitchen Tips
If the chicken is cold or cut into quarters, the cook time to heat it will be a bit longer. Serve this tasty chicken dish with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes (p. 86) and buttered broccoli spears.
