My mother loves chicken, she loves it so much she states time and time again that she would eat chicken everyday if my dad would let her. She had a cookbook when I was younger that was just chicken recpies. In it was the orgin for this meal. When you first read the ingredients you may be put off but give it a try. The flavor is so good when I told Zo I was making this tonight she got very excited! Remember? She use to hate chicken.
Ingredients:
1 cup picante sauce or salsa (I use Pace or 505 southwestern)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard (I use Henry Winard's Honey Dijon or Bever hot cajun dijon)
3 green onions or 1/2 small sweet onion
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on how many you are serving, same amount of sauce for both)
crack pepper
3 tbsp garlic olive oil
Mix all ingredients except for chicken and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Coat chicken in mixture, crack 2 twists of fresh pepper and then let sit in the fridge for 15- 30 minutes flipping chicken every so often (you can cook right away without letting the chicken marinate but I like to let it sit in the refrigerator for and hour or two.)
In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat. Pour chicken and sauce into skillet and cook chicken for 5-7 minutes, flip and then cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Serve with sauce from skillet on top or with a little avocado butter. A small slice of garlic bread to sop up the sauce is highly suggested (really the sauce is that good!)
Additional uses for this recipe:
1. Makes a great sandwich on sourdough bread with avocado and your favorite cheese and iceberg lettuce.
