I would like to know how much the chicken breasts weigh each . The recipe sounds
Good Thanks
Thank for your question Linda. The chicken breasts are about 4 oz each. I know it adds an extra step but when I made this recipe, I browned the chicken first to give it a bit of colour before wrapping it in the foil. Enjoy!
