How To Make jenn's favorite pineapple salsa chicken

• Step 1
  Using either a sealed plastic freezer bag or two sheets of waxed paper, pound each chicken breast out to about a 1/4 inch thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Step 2
  Combine dry ingredients with a whisk in a shallow dish.
• Step 3
  Dredge the chicken breasts in flour mix to coat and set aside on a clean plate.
• Step 4
  In a large sautee pan heat the olive oil over medium heat until the surface shimmers slightly.
• Step 5
  Carefully lay chicken breasts into the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may have to cook one or two breasts at a time depending on the size of your pan.
• Step 6
  Cook each breast for 3 minutes per side or until the flesh feels firm.
• Step 7
  Remove cooked breasts to a clean plate and loosely cover with foil or another clean inverted plate until all the breasts are cooked.
• Step 8
  When done cooking chicken, slowly add broth to the pan CAREFULLY! The pan will steam up, so keep back to avoid burns.
• Step 9
  Deglaze the pan by gently scraping the bottom of the pan as the broth warms. This releases the yummy brown caramelized bits from cooking the chicken.
• Step 10
  Bring broth to a simmer and let go for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
• Step 11
  Stir in salsa to create your sauce. This usually comes out brownish because of the caramelized bits :)
• Step 12
  Lay the chicken breasts back in the pan with the sauce & let simmer for a minute.
• Step 13
  Turn the chicken and let simmer another 2 minutes.
• Step 14
  Remove chicken from pan and serve with 2-3 tablespoons of sauce on top.
• Step 15
  This is yummy with steamed broccoli with a squeeze of lemon juice or over rice.
