Reviews
The chicken breasts came out extremely dry! The cooking time that this recipe calls for is way too long!
Very easy and flavorful.
Chicken came out a little dry but flavorful. Im not sure if 3 minutes on each side was too long. After cutting the breast horizontally. It made the chicken thinner. But i will play around with the recipe.
Super easy and perfect for salads. Mild herb taste.
