    If it’s two chicken breasts then this recipe produces at least two servings depending on weight of chicken breasts.

      So is it 2 whole chicken breast split or is it 1 chicken breast split in 2?

        Looks like serving size is 5 ounces. Recommend you weight breast before cooking it. My experience is 1 breast would probably be two servings you have to go by weight.
