Notes
crunchtimewarp: (fastest version)
Buy pre-sliced (horizontally, not tenders) chicken breasts.
Use jarred pre-chopped garlic (still love my fresh, but in a pinch will do).
Omit parsley.
Double the recipe for tomorrow's time saver.
Make earlier in the day or the night before and just reheat for dinner.
