1 tablespoon of fresh minced garlic

1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream
13 -
1/4 cup dry sherry wine
14 -
8 oz Muenster cheese slices
# Steps:
01 -
Cut each chicken breast horizontally to make two thinner pieces, resulting in eight portions. Coat each piece twice in the flour seasoning mix.
02 -
Cook in stages. Fry chicken in a mix of hot butter and oil until it's golden on the outside. Move cooked chicken into a 13x9 baking dish.
03 -
Using a clean mix of butter and oil, cook mushrooms until golden. Add them on top of the chicken. Next, cook garlic and onions in leftover fats.
04 -
Deglaze the pan with sherry, letting the alcohol cook off. Stir in flour before gradually adding broth, followed by cream. Let this turn into a smooth sauce, then pour it over the chicken and veggies.
05 -
Lay slices of Muenster over the dish, then cover tightly with parchment and foil. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes and briefly broil to brown the cheese.
