Great chicken. I marinated mine for about 4 hours but cooked the chicken in a grill pan on the stove for a bit longer than indicated for some great tasting chicken. Thanks for sharing!

This is a fantastic chicken recipe. The breasts turned out moist and tender. I will be making this often, thx for sharing this recipe here.

More stars please! DH could not stop talking about the juiciness, flavour and said not to lose the recipe! He is not a fan of chicken breasts but he LOVED your recipe and so did I! The jus that is released when resting is outstanding! Luckily I have two more breasts for dinner tonight. Thank you Teresa for another excellent recipe! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
