2)Wash grapes, remove stems drain well & set aside
3)Heat butter in large, heavy skillet and when very hot but not brown add chicken breasts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat stirring constantly so that the pieces cook evenly. Cook until chicken loss there raw look and are barely cooked through about 3-5 minutes.
