This silky lime sauce coats the chicken with rich, tangy flavor. Substitute lemon if you don't have a lime on hand. For a splash of color, garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
cooking spray |
3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
3 tablespoons lime juice, divided |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; keep warm.
3. Add chicken broth, sugar, 2 tablespoons juice, and mustard to pan; cook over medium heat, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
4. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add cornstarch mixture to pan; stir well with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook 1 minute or until sauce thickens slightly. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and butter, stirring until butter melts. Return chicken to pan; simmer 2 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly heated.
