I prepared 3 thick chicken breast in this way and shared between 4 of us!<br/>This was delicous and easy. I still had some Greek feta and olives. As the dish was ready my daughter still wasn't at home and I added 1/2 cup of white wine to keep it moist.<br/>It came out delicious and we didn't have leftovers, of course!
