A delicious dish with minimal effort. I used boneless, skinless breasts which were flattened slightly to promote even cooking. As the recipe was reduced to 2 servings, I used only the egg white and not the whole egg. The broth and lemon juice were added to the pan and the small amount of liquid evaporated quickly. Additional broth was added. This was served with recipe #265317 and a side salad.
