Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the cooking sherry and some herbs before baking.

Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can elevate the dish, while using a mix of wild mushrooms can enhance the umami flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts, but they should be fully thawed before cooking for even baking. Adjust the cooking time as necessary, possibly increasing it by 10-15 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
What can I substitute for cooking sherry?
If you don't have cooking sherry, white wine or chicken broth can be good substitutes. For a non-alcoholic option, use a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water or a splash of lemon juice to mimic the acidity.
How do I ensure the chicken is moist and tender?
To keep the chicken moist, avoid overcooking it. Using a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F is ideal. Covering the dish with foil for the first part of baking can also help retain moisture before browning the top.
