January 6, 2014 at 10:01 amThis very same recipe may be used with four checikn breasts as well. The only difference is that you put chiaken breasts in a pyrex dish and just throw it in a preheated (450 degree) oven and cook for forty to forty-five minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 160 to 165 degrees.
