Gluten Free Chicken with Mushrooms in Sherry-Garlic Butter Sauce

This recipe is very loosely based on Chicken Marsala but goes off on a tangent to incorporate flavors from a fabulous sherry-garlic butter sauce that comes with a seafood combo dinner in one of my favorite Mexican restaurants:

Ingredients:


1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken tenders or fillets
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup white rice flour
2 cups gluten free breadcrumbs
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced and sautéed

Directions:

Rinse and dry chicken tenders. Coat chicken with rice flour by putting flour and chicken into a plastic bag and shaking until chicken is coated on all sides. Next dip chicken in beaten egg, then in gluten free breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and pepper. Fry in olive oil/butter mixture until golden brown. Place in a large baking dish, top chicken pieces with sautéed mushrooms. Pour sherry-garlic butter sauce (recipe below) over the chicken and bake 15 - 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve over your favorite gluten free pasta or rice.
