Thanks, Saerah.. (Is middle posting allowed?) LOL (kidding!)
I actually did the chicken breasts in a pan that wasn't teflon.. stainless
steel.
I was thinking I should have used teflon, but you're saying I shouldn't? The
trick is getting the pan hotter?
Should I add liquid or something besides olive oil next time?
I had chicken breast once that was, imo, to die for.. didn't have a lot of
stuff on it.. hint of garlic and onion, and a very light, clear sauce.. I
was trying to duplicate it. heh
