I liked this. It's similar to his Chicken Breasts with Lemon, but this one involves cutting the chicken into pieces and simmering them in white wine (which the other recipe does not have) along with the stock. I imagine it would be possible to use breasts that have NOT been cut in half, and cook them in more stock and wine than this recipe calls for (maybe double?) and simmer them for longer. Might give that a shot.
