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.
