  • Turn the chicken to coat the other side in the sauce before dishing and top with parsley or green onions (optional).
  • Enjoy!

Notes

- If you have large chicken breasts, you can cut 2 breasts in half lengthwise to get 4 chicken cutlets. - Make it saucier – Add ¼ cup of chicken broth to make it saucier. - Add some heat – Sprinkle a few dashes of red pepper flakes to give the chicken a little bit of heat. - Add some zest – Add some lime or lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.
