This is a quick and easy weeknight meal that makes it look like you went to a lot of trouble (when you really didn’t).\u00a0 It’s basically some pan fried chicken\u00a0 breasts, a quick sauce and some cheese tossed into the oven to finish it off.<\/p>\n
The original recipe feeds four, but there is plenty of sauce, so I just added a couple more chicken breasts to feed our family.\u00a0 If your chicken breasts are large you can slice them horizontally so they cook evenly.<\/p>\n
