Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating chicken fillets in olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs for about an hour before cooking. Always taste your sauce before serving to adjust the spice level. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer before adding the chicken back in. Consider plating with freshly chopped parsley and serving a light salad on the side.
