Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups picante sauce
• 0.25 Cups Dijon-style prepared mustard
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) lemon juice
• 6 Whole chicken breast halves, marinated
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil

Steps

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large glass bowl, combine the picante sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet. Sauté the chicken until it is well browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
3. Simmer in Marinade: Once the chicken is browned, add the remaining marinade to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the marinade until it is glazed and tender, and the juices run clear, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Prepare the Sauce: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Increase the heat to high and bring the remaining marinade in the skillet to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes to ensure any bacteria are killed, then pour the hot marinade over the chicken.
5. Serve: Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy with a side of cooked rice or your favorite vegetables.
