Chicken with Lime Sauce
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.
How to Make It
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 3
Add chicken broth, sugar, 2 tablespoons juice, and mustard to pan; cook over medium heat, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
Step 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.

Delicious, easy and pretty quick. The sauce was really nice; neither the mustard nor the lime juice dominated. The only change I made was in using whole-grain Dijon instead of plain, as that's what I had on hand; plain Dijon would probably be a better choice, aesthetically speaking. Served with sautéed sugar snap peas and red bell pepper over red rice.

My husband gave this recipe 4 3/4 star. Very good, I agree that if you are making this for 4 people you might want to double the sauce. The sauce was yummy!

I liked the flavor of this sauce, my only advice is to double the sauce, or in my case I just made half the chicken breasts since I was only serving 2. Served with the potatos featured with it.

Very simple! And so good! The sauce is so smooth and silky, not too sweet, not too tangy... I would just add a bit of lime zest next time to see how much punch that gives it. But I am planning on making this for my next dinner party!
