This recipe is simple enough to serve as an everyday meal, and elegant enough to serve when entertaining guests. The herbs and sherry give it a "fancy" touch sure to please, and the biscuits give it a "down home" appeal.

Herbed Chicken
Step 1: In a skillet, cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to skillet. Cook, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes or until liquid is evaporated. Set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, flour, seasoned salt and pepper. Add sour cream mixture, milk and broth to mushroom mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add marjoram, basil and oregano and lemon juice and cook for an additional minute. Add chicken and sherry; heat through. Serve over biscuits and sprinkle with green onions.
Herbed Biscuits
Stir together all ingredients just until dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough 10 to 12 strokes. Roll to a 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a biscuit cutter of your choice, cut dough into 12 biscuits. Re-roll and cut the trimmings as necessary. Arrange biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 12 minutes or until golden. Yield: 6 servings.
