@ekf99: I'm also using an electric stove, and this method works very well. If you're concerned about the heat not coming down quickly enough, just move the pan (after you've covered it) onto an unused hotplate for a couple of minutes while you wait for the "live" hob to cool down. Then follow the rest of the method as outlined.

As well as using this method, I brined the chicken breast beforehand - i.e. covered the meat in cold salted water for an hour or so. before cooking.
