I received this recipe from a friend and have been making it ever since. Chicken breasts are simmered in a sherry cream sauce with prosciutto, salami and mushrooms. Men love it! This is also a great recipe for a dinner party.

- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION:
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent.

Pour in sherry, and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in chicken broth, cream and marinara. Simmer until sauce is reduced to your preferred consistency.
