Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts are my go to source for fast protein. I always keep a bag of frozen in my freezer for last minute meals. They thaw out in cold water pretty quickly and you can add any spice or ingredients you like. I love this recipe, the fresh salsa combined with Dijon mustard, dill and lime explodes in your mouth. Who says healthy must be boring and bland? Experiment with your salsas, go as mild or spicy as you feel.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup fresh mild salsa
- ¼ cup Dijon Mustard
- 4 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 4, 4 oz organic boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp. nonfat sour cream
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions:
- In a large bowl combine salsa, mustard, lime juice and dill. Mix thoroughly and transfer this salsa mixture into a 2-cup measuring cup. Place the chicken breasts into a large bowl and pour 1 ¼ cup of mixture over chicken leaving ¾ of a cup of the salsa mixture. Cover bowl and refrigerate chicken for one to two hours to marinate.
- In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breast, discard marinade and sauté on each side for 5 minutes until brown. Add remaining ¾ cup salsa mixture to skillet, cover and let cook another 8 minutes or until chicken meat is white throughout.
- Remove chicken breasts to a serving plate and spoon mixture from skillet over chicken. Top each breast with a tablespoon of nonfat sour cream and a wedge lime.
