Notes

Cooking time: This will vary slightly depending on the thickness of chicken breasts. If in doubt, check with your meat thermometer.

Lemon juice: When you add the lemon juice at the end, the sauce can curdle a little if it's very hot. If if does, just remove the chicken breasts to serve and give the sauce a good whisk.
