Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
For a deeper flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before placing them in the baking dish. This adds a lovely sear and enhances the chicken's savory notes.
If you don't have sherry on hand, dry white wine or chicken broth can be substituted, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
Fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, can also be added to the crouton topping for extra flavor.
Serve with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Nov 18, 2023The croutons got a little too brown, but the chicken was perfectly cooked. Next time, I'll cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes.
