About

It’s diet time, and that means people are eating chicken breasts. If I were a chicken this time of year, I’d hide. Chicken breasts are low in calories, a low-fat source of protein and quick to cook. While I generally prefer the dark meat, this recipe produces delicious chicken breasts that are every bit as moist and tender as the dark parts. There is a small splurge of butter that adds a richness without much in the way of calories. So indulge, diet or no.
