This simple dish is perfect for a mid-week supper, yet elegant enough for a dinner party. The recipe evolved from one I found years ago in a food magazine. I find that frozen artichokes taste better than do canned.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter

- 2 tablespoon dry sherry
