NOTE: Deboned breasts can be substituted in this recipe if your family prefers the boneless items -- adjust microwave cooking time accordingly.

NOTE: Always cook chicken until well done--an internal temperature of 180ø for bone-in items and 160ø for boneless items. All juices from the meat should be clear.
