"Cook time includes 30 minutes to marinate. This is also good if you substitute tarragon for the thyme. One tsp of dried thyme can be used instead of fresh. From Pillsbury."

I made this to go on top of a chicken Caesar salad. I had intended to grill it, but the weather had turned bad, and this being January, that happens often. I did scallop (pound thin) the chicken breasts, marinated overnight, and ended up just cooking them in a skillet on the stove, about 12 minutes or so. I quite enjoyed. Thanks.

I'm still not set up for grilling yet this Spring, so used the broiler instead! You've shared with us a great keeper recipe for making some very enjoyable chicken breasts! We much appreciated the flavor combo of lemon, thyme & garlic, & I'll certainly be making these again! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef event]
