Baked Chicken and Mushrooms
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 5 min. Bake: 30 min.

I made up this dish years ago, and it still remains the family's favorite healthy baked chicken recipes. It's a fast weeknight meal, but the fresh mushrooms and sherry make it special enough for a weekend dinner party. —Lise Prestine of South Bend, Indiana
