    The sherry adds a unique depth of flavor to the sauce that you won't find in other recipes. Highly recommend trying this!

    Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  • Tara Turcotte

    The tip about pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness is crucial. It makes a big difference in the cooking time and ensures that the chicken is cooked evenly.
