Something seems off with your math. 20 oz for 4 breasts would mean about
5 oz per breast. That still seems small to me. Reading on, I think there
just might be a typo but I can't figure it out.

Anywho, those big breasts are pretty normal for boneless skinless. I
cook them the same as I would smaller ones, meaning cut them to portion
size and no matter how I cook them, no hotter than 150F-155F in the
center then rest. They always turn out moist, and yes, fully cooked.
