Since my mother went to college in California, she introduced the family to artichokes and we all became fans. My baby sister developed this recipe so we could enjoy artichokes out of season. This recipe pairs well with Gallo® Family Vineyards Barrellli Creek Cabernet Sauvignon.—Taste of Home Cooking School

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 3 tablespoons sherry
  • 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and quartered

Directions

  1. Combine 1 tablespoon flour, salt, paprika and pepper; sprinkle over chicken. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat; brown chicken on all sides. Remove chicken to a large baking dish.
