Notes
*I used 5 very small chicken breasts that totaled 1 ½ lbs. The 5-ounce chicken breasts were cooked through in 30 minutes. If you use much thicker, larger chicken breasts, you will need to increase the cooking time to about 45-50 minutes.
Nutrition information includes all of the sauce in the pan. If you serve less sauce on the plates, the nutrition facts will vary greatly (with less sugar and less carbs).
Cooking just for Two? Cut all of the ingredients in half and bake in a small dish. Cooking instructions remain the same.
