Ingredients

Main

  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed is best.)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (Soy sauce can be used if you’re out.)
  • 0.25 cup Water (Chicken broth can enhance flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter (Coconut oil serves as a dairy-free option.)
