Hints & tips

• Chicken breasts can vary in size and shape. For this recipe, the breasts need to be ½ inch thick. If you have large breasts, it might be easier to slice them in half widthways before making the criss-cross pattern.
• The criss-cross pattern helps with the cooking process and also allows the sauce to cover more of the breast, giving maximum flavour.
• Use gluten free flour or cornflour to make this suitable for a gluten free diet.
