    Recipe Tips and Substitutions

    • If you don't have cooking sherry on hand, you can substitute white wine or chicken stock.
    • If you are using a lemon pepper seasoning that has added salt, reduce the amount to 2 teaspoons and increase the lemon juice to 3 tablespoons.
    • This is also delicious made with pork chops, halibut, or even shrimp.

      So, so good. I used bone in chicken thighs. Extended the time the chicken cooked. Tossed in parmesan and mozzarella and broiled until browned. I’m not Keto, so served over buttered noodles. yum!

      This was so good! The chicken came out so moist and juicy (unusual for breasts) and the sauce was to die for! I didn't have sherry and subbed half apple cider vinegar and half brandy. Will definitely make this one again!

      Have you (or anyone else) tried using a good quality shredded parm in place of the mozzarella? Thoughts?

      YUM!! This was delicious! It reminded me of a Swiss Chicken recipe that my family makes with sherry and swiss cheese, so I used swiss instead of mozzerella and it gave it a really nice tang along with the lemon flavor. I love your recipes! I have made one every day this week 🙂
