I made the Coconut Braised Chicken Breasts and all I can say is WOW!!! Made the recipe as written and the chicken was super tender and the sauce is fantastic. My husband could not resist sopping his slice of bread in the sauce. My chicken breasts were on the plump side so I cooked in skillet for half the time then transferred to a 350 degree convection oven for about 10 to15 minutes till middle of breasts reached 162 degrees. This is a hands down winner. Can't wait to make it again! Thank you for your no-fail recipes!
