This is an unusual way to cook boneless chicken breasts, a little fussy but good. You cook the seasoned breasts in a foil covered dish in the oven for 30 minutes, remove from oven and brush with butter mixture and brown in skillet for 4 minutes to a side. You then make a pan sauce. I substituted Sherry-Rosemary pan sauce from the September, 2002 for the one listed with the recipe because I always have fresh rosemary available. The chicken definitely needs a pan sauce.
Because it is so fussy, I doubt that I will make it often. However, I do love pan sauced chicken served with mashed potatoes or rice with a simple salad. That is easy enough.
