You could use skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, if desired. If need be cook the chicken in batches in tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If need be to thicken the sauce, add a little cornstarch. This will most likely not be necessary, unless you add too much water.
