This recipe is a crowd-pleaser. It’ll give you a tender, juicy pheasant breast with a sauce you can’t get enough of. Serve with any sides you’d like, but it’s great with rice and fresh vegetables–perhaps carrots, broccoli, or green beans. The rice will be great with extra sauce and the vegetables will pair well with the richness of the sauce. Baked potatoes are also delicious with this sauce.
