  • 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.

Expert 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.

I love rotisserie chicken but I wanted some variation to it without the fuss. I tried this recipe for the first time and my family and I love it! Instead of sherry, I used about half a cup of leftover white wine and reduced it a little bit before adding the gravy. The sauce turned out silky that it looked lovely and tasted great over hot steaming white ritce. It's so easy to make and it is delicious! I will make this again the next time we have guests at home!

I was very pleasantly surprised with the taste of this. Since I didn't want to go to the store for Rotisserie chicken, I sauteed some chicken breasts and seasonings. I also didn't have sherry, so I used Marsala wine. I served over pasta and it was great. Best part was, it was ready in less than 20 minutes and tasted good. I think the wine and sugar helped to cut down some of the "jar gravy" taste. Would highly recommend this recipe for a quick good meal
