Cuban Sofrito Chicken is a classic Cuban dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The dish consists of tender chicken breasts that are marinated in a mixture of goya sofrito sauce, edmundo golden cooking wine, onions, and garlic before being baked to perfection. Succulent and juicy with a subtle heat and a ton of flavor, Cuban sofrito chicken is a dish that's as perfect for a weeknight dinner as it is for any special occasion.
