Pan-Roasted Chicken Breasts with Onion and Ale Sauce

I love, love, LOVE this recipe! The chicken gets incredibly juicy (don't skip the brine!) and the buttery beer sauce is fantastic. This is an all-time favorite.

This is a great method for cooking bone-in chicken breasts. Lots of variations on the pan sauce are given, but the onion and ale is pretty delicious. I usually do skip the brining step, because the organic chicken breasts I buy are always very juicy and I usually forget to do the brine beforehand anyway.
