Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Brandy is a liquor distilled from fermented fruit juice. Armagnac is brandy made from grape juice, and Calvados is brand made from apple juice. A small amount of brandy provides balance to this rich chicken recipe.
  • tip 2
    A fortified wine, such as Marsala, port or sherry, can be used in place of the brandy in this recipe. Fortified wines are wines with brandy or another liquor added to them to increase their alcohol content.
  • tip 3
    Serve this chicken recipe with a wild and white rice blend. Broccoli florets and a sliced tomato salad complete the menu.
