Chicken with Lime Sauce

Ingredients:

    4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    Cooking spray
    3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    2 tablespoons water
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    1 tablespoon butter

Preparation:

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.

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.

Add chicken broth, sugar, 2 tablespoons juice, and mustard to pan; cook over medium heat, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

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.
