the onions to the oil remaining in the pan. If there isn’t any, add in about ½
teaspoon and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until the soften, add the garlic

simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the sauce thickens a bit. Season with salt
and pepper to taste.
ASSEMBLE: Nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce and
using a spoon, cover the chicken with sauce. Top each breast with a slice of
