Chicken With Lime Sauce

 

Ingredients for 4 servings:
1. 4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2. 1/4 teaspoon salt
3. 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4. 2 teaspoons olive oil
5. 3/4 cup chicken broth, reduced-sodium fat-free
6. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
7. 3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
8. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
9. 2 tablespoons water
10. 1 teaspoon cornstarch
11. 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.
5. 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.
6. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and butter, stirring until butter melts.
7. Return chicken to pan; simmer 2 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly heated.
