Recipe Introduction


Chicken breasts tend to cook faster and begin to dry out before other pieces are finished cooking. Try checking breasts for doneness after about 30 minutes in the oven. If done, remove from skillet to a warm plate. Tent with foil, and return to skillet when you add sherry and chives.

• 1 roasting chicken, cut into pieces
  
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  
• 1 T. cooking oil
  
• 1 T. minced garlic
