Chicken Breasts in Butter with truffle
Truffle is something you either love or hate. If you are one of those who loves it, give this recipe a try! If you don’t have a truffle slicer, use a sharp knife to slice the truffles very finely.
You can use white truffle instead of black or truffle oil that will give aroma without being that expensive. To make with no truffle at all, simply squeeze some lemon juice into the butter just before serving.
