Chicken Gravy with a Kick

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook them until they’re nicely browned on all sides. Once browned, carefully drain off any extra oil from the pan. Next, pour in the undiluted soup along with the sherry and whole onions. Give everything a good stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let it simmer gently for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remember to stir it occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom. When it’s done, the chicken should be tender and full of flavor.
