Concluding Thoughts
On my first try the pheasant breasts I used were still a little frozen, which meant they had to stay in the oven a little longer. 55-60 minutes was just about perfect. It went great on rice, the pheasant was tender and juicy, and there was plenty of flavor.

Thank you so much for this recipe!!! My super picky husband who does not like spices or sauces loved it!! So glad I took a chance, it was so tender and so easy to make!! We have more pheasant (that my husband brought home this fall) in the freezer that I have been sort of dreading cooking and now I am thrilled to make it!!
