When I took this out of the freezer I thought it was two breasts...turned out to be only one. Why are chicken breasts the size of a turkey breast, lately? Last night we had sautèed chicken with a little chicken broth/Marsala and I was astounded at the size of the breast, it was enough for 2 or 3 people and then some. I butterflied it and put it in the skillet......holy moley it covered the entire surface......I can't imagine that chicken could get off the ground, if it tried!
We, (or should I say Howard) topped the meal off with a little piece of apple/maple tart. I had a hard time cleaning my plate....well, actually I didn't clean it.
As you can see, it didn't shrink up very much........scary, isn't it?

Maybe it was a good old fashioned farm raised chicken instead of a confinement one to grow so large. Your meal looks fabulous but the deesert....how could you resist?
They must be doing to chickens whatever has been done to turkeys in recent years to cause them to become so ... well, busty.
At any rate, your meal looks delicious! I also enjoyed your tablescape post this week ... great shapes and colors!!!

Oh yummy! Please come cook at my house! Janell
I have oversized breats, too, LOL!
Marigene, it all looks so good, I always love your meals! and what a finish, the tart looks awesome!
What are those blue plates? Love them!
I wonder what they were pumping into that poor chickie??
Yikes! You're right....that is one big breast! If I made a dinner like that it would take me three days in the kitchen.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Your dinner looks wonderful, am I too late for dinner...Maybe I'll just have dessert...thanks for sharing..
I know..they have been huge..I slice them thin while they are partially frozen, 2 will make plenty!
It looks good, and I like your spongewear too!
Any ice cream for the tart??? It looks delicious!
Thank you everyone for the nice comments.
Kathleen and Carol, the dishes have tiny leaves and Japanese writing on the bottoms, got them at HomeGoods last year.
Marigene, it all looked good to me! The tart is a beauty.
It must be all the hormones they pump them with....I have often wondered about it!! Looks great.

I love chicken. I wouldn't be complaining about the breast size. But then again, I'm not the chicken having to walk around with such huge breasts. Dinner looked very yummy. I think I'm going to be having chicken for dinner now. And thanks for visiting my blog & commenting.
I bought a family pack the other day-and I'm not complaining, but- I felt like it was never ending! Your dinner looks sooo wonderful-and I just ate!
