Notes

Recipe works best with 4 to 6 small to medium chicken breasts. You can slice larger ones in half or use split breasts from the butcher. Larger pieces may require longer cooking time.
Try adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter at the end of cooking for a richer sauce. Broil for about 5 minutes at end for added color and texture, if desired.
