  • 1/4 cup dry sherry

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 14.5-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 10-ounce can condensed, reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

  • 4 pounds chicken pieces, skinless and boneless

  • 1 cup frozen green peas

Directions

  • Spray a large pot with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
