Salt and pepper
Nutmeg
1/2 pound small mushrooms
6 cooked artichoke hearts

Dredge chicken in flour. Melt butter in large skillet. Add chicken and saute until lightly browned. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Wash mushrooms and pat dry. Add to chicken along with artichoke hearts. Pour sherry over all; cover, then simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender and most of the wine has evaporated.
