This was a big hit with the family after a few modifications. First, I pounded the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick then I just sauteed in coconut oil. I followed the rest of the recipe for the sauce substituting roasted red peppers for the pimentos because I didn't have any and it was wonderful! I was easy, really tasty, and it looks and smells wonderful!

Loved this! Had to cook the chicken breasts longer than 10 minutes because they were a little thick, so the crust got a little browner than I liked. Next time I'll flatten them before cooking. Even though the sauce was a little thinner than I expected, it was still delicious! Will definitely be making again! I'm upgrading this from my original 4 stars to 5 stars because I've made it so many times in the last six weeks! Flattening out the chicken breasts definitely helped them cook more evenly and in about 10 minutes time.
