Would really LOVE to see a review by someone who ACTUALLY MADE THIS RECIPE!

Delicious! I subbed liquid egg whites for butter and olive oil for canola oil. I used 4 oz chicken breasts and it calculates to 320 calories and 9 grams of fat! Will definately be making this again and again!!!

I eliminated the butter and used egg whites instead. I also fried the chicken in olive oil. It turned out fantastic. Super easy recipe and very yummy!

I love this recipe! I make it all the time. I completely remove the butter and spray my chicken with cooking spray. I also cook it in olive oil and it turns out delicious!

I would cut the fat & calories by substituting a beaten egg or egg substitute for the 6 tablespoons of butter (100 calories, & 11 grams of fat per tablespoon), especially because you're cooking the chicken in additional oil and butter.

I would use a wild rice blend (like Uncle Ben's)with some fresh green beans or a salad. Keep it lite with some sorbet and small cookies for dessert.
