  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup dry sherry

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Place chicken in single layer on top of rice, water chestnuts, and artichokes.

  • Add mushrooms to the skillet used to cook the chicken and sauté for 5 minutes or until tender over medium heat.

  • To the mushrooms, add the remaining teaspoon of salt, flour, chicken broth and sherry and stir well. Cook for 3 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly.
