3. Place chicken breasts in a microwave-oven proof dish or pie plate large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour sauce over the chicken, cover the casserole loosely with waxed paper and cook on high power for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, recover and cook an additional 4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through but still juicy. Partially rotate the dish after 2, 4 and 6 minutes. Set aside for 2 minutes.
