  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves ( chicken thighs work too)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • Hot cooked spaghetti or pasta of choice

  • Brown chicken pieces...in oil and place chicken in crockpot.

. In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce,
sliced, mushrooms, diced onion, wine or broth, diced garlic, oregano, thyme
, salt and pepper.
Pour this over the chicken pieces.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken juices run clear.

For a more intence flavor...saute your onions and garlic while browning your
chicken..

You can also add celery and carrots.

Sherry is a fortified wine meaning they add alcohol to it. This raises the percent alcohol to 20% or so (above wines normal 13%). Back in the day, they added alcohol to help it keep better for long transports on ships. These days, it’s just done because that is the flavor everyone knows.

Sherry shouldn’t go bad for quite some time. Typically, Sherry has a screw top cap…..but does yours have a cork? The particles could be pieces of the cork deteriorating. Also, as a fortified wine, Sherry isn’t one that you would typically “age”, but it does keep for quite a while.

Nah, it's most likely fine. What you're being is probably just a bit of sediment, perhaps some crystalized tartaric acid salts (cream of tartar), which is common in wine and completely harmless. Sometimes I even find grape seeds in wine. One high-end Pinot Noir I buy often had little balls of yeast floating in it. Just pour it in a measuring cup or glass and remove anything that's not liquid.

BTW, once the bottle of sherry is opened, keep it in the refrigerator. It will last for months. It adds a marvelous flavor to things like the chicken with mushrooms I posted.

That's true for inexpensive bottlings, but not for the good stuff (e.g., Dry Sack), which almost always has a cork closure.

I find that Paul Masson Pale Dry Sherry, about $6 for 750ml, is perfectly fine for cooking -- as well as for a little nip for the cook -- and even it has a cork closure, albeit one with a plastic knob on the end to make it easy to reseal the bottle. No one drinks an entire bottle of the stuff at one sitting.

BTW, screwcaps are now found on some very expensive wines, especially Australian wines.

I just looked at it again and it is indeed a screw top (I had tought it was cork pieces also).
I bought it at an old jewish mom and pop market so I have no idea how long in might have been on thier shelves....
looking at it more closely it does look like sediments, thanks on the tip for storing it in the fridge after opened. I bought it with the purpose of cooking with, glad to know I don't have to throw it away! :)
Thanks you guys!

Leave it upright and the sediment will settle to the bottom. You won't have to deal with it until you get toward the end of the bottle.
