Step-by-step

  • First marinade the chicken. Pierce a few holes in the meat with a fork to help the marinade penetrate through. Salt and pepper both sides of each chicken piece.
  • Add the marinade ingredients (1/2 cup of sherry, 3 sprigs of thyme, and 5 garlic cloves) in a Ziploc storage bag. Add the chicken to the bag of marinade and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours. (Marinate overnight for more flavor.)
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together the sauce ingredients: golden mushroom soup, wine, sherry, and chicken broth. Set aside.
  • Remove the chicken from marinade and brown the chicken in an oven-safe pan with olive oil, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan. Remove excess grease, leaving a small amount of oil. Turn the heat off.
  • Add the garlic and additional thyme leaves to the pan and cook for a few seconds until soft.
  • Add the soup mixture to the pan. Then add the chicken back to the pan. Place the whole mushrooms in the open spaces of the pan.
  • Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
