- Deglaze by pouring the sherry, vegetable stock and milk. ( you can replace the milk with cream for a richer result.) stir to combine.
- Add the chicken pieces back into the casserole and bring to simmer. Cover with a lid and let it simmer, over low heat, for a further 20-25 minutes or until the chicken pieces are fully cooked.
- Check the seasoning, and the texture of the sauce. If too thick add a drop of water to loosen the sauce.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley or fresh herbs and serve immediately with boiled rice.
