Quick Low Fat Skillet Chicken Breasts

 

Serve this easy skillet chicken along with a fruity salsa or chutney.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin removed
• olive oil cooking spray
• Creole seasoning
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 to 2 tablespoons apple jelly or apricot preserves

Preparation:

Gently pound chicken breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap. Spray a large skillet with olive oil cooking spray or add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan; sprinkle chicken breasts lightly on both sides with Creole seasoning and salt and pepper.

Cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Combine the chicken broth and apple jelly; pour into the skillet and stir until jelly is melted; reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Serve with a little of the sauce and sliced green onion or a fruity salsa. The chicken breasts pictured at right are shown with Peach Chutney.
Serves 4.
