Although I don't usually pan-fry my chicken breasts, this recipe gave us a great tasting main course which I served up with a combo of brown rice & peas! Most satisfying, & thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement tag]

I grew up in the Midwest and from a Swedish family, so I love food.
My grandmother doesn't normally measure when she cooks and I kind of picked that up from her. Most of my dishes can't be repeated due to this.
I love experimenting!!
