Stovetop Chicken BreastI do not know how common this is now,  but when we lived in Chile, a light lunch would often be Juicy Stovetop Chicken Breast with a salad.  And it's so simple to make that we eat it at least twice a month.

It may be brushed off as boring or lame. I prefer to consider it a challenge. Chopped in salads with an assortment of nuts, vegetables are delicious. And with a mushroom or nuts sauce, it becomes very appealing.Juicy Stovetop Chicken Breast

Same as pan-fried fish, this recipe is pan-fried chicken.
