This is a really simple recipe that i made. Takes really very little effort to make and will make you look like you really know what your doing! I originally wanted to do it with a boneless skinless turkey breast, but since a snow day caused my grocery store to be empty, i used chicken breast instead! good luck! I added a couple of photos of some of the steps so you get an idea.
