Ingredients
- 1 can (about 14 ounces) chicken broth
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 1 can artichoke hearts
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/4 pound mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In frying pan with a lid, bring chicken broth to simmering over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in a single layer, cover and poach until meat is tender when pierced with a fork (about 15 minutes). Remove chicken from broth, reserve 3/4 cup of the broth for sauce.
- In a shallow casserole dish (8" x 12"), arrange chicken breasts, slightly overlapping; distribute drained artichoke hearts in casserole. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter or margarine; stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smoothly blended. Gradually stir in the reserved chicken broth and the half-and-half. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and is thickened. Sir in the Parmesan, sherry, and rosemary until cheese is melted and mixture is blended. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Add mushrooms and saute until golden. Transfer mushrooms to a small dish; cover and refrigerate.
- Shortly before serving, stir sauce over low heat; then pour over chicken and artichoke hearts so that artichoke hearts are well covered. Distribute mushrooms over the casserole. Bake, uncovered, until heated through.
