I usually butterfly my chicken breasts, so that's what I used here. Much thinner and good to serve for just the two of us. That said, I browned them for half the time, but I made the full amount of sauce to go with some pasta. WOW! Yummy sauce, the chicken was great, (my picture doesn't do credit because it was drowning in the sauce, sorry!), and DH doesn't care for too much lemon. Well, the lemon was not overpowering, and the sauce was wonderful. I asked him if he noticed a certain taste, and he said, "Maybe a faint citrus?" HAHA! I served this with "Walkaway Noodles" and roasted asparagus. It was a fabulous meal. This one is another keeper, Dee, thanks!
