Can I Bake This in The Oven Instead?

Yes. Bread the chicken as noted in the recipe. Then, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. 

Chicken Breasts

I used 4 small size chicken breasts. Stick with 3-4 breasts for the recipe to work.

Cooking Time

Cooking time may vary, depending on the size/thickness of your chicken breasts. Be sure the internal temperature of your chicken is at least 165 degrees before serving.
