How To Make jenn's favorite pineapple salsa chicken

• 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.
• 2

  Combine dry ingredients with a whisk in a shallow dish.
• 3

  Dredge the chicken breasts in flour mix to coat and set aside on a clean plate.
• 4

  In a large sautee pan heat the olive oil over medium heat until the surface shimmers slightly.
• 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.
• 6

  Cook each breast for 3 minutes per side or until the flesh feels firm.
• 7

  Remove cooked breasts to a clean plate and loosely cover with foil or another clean inverted plate until all the breasts are cooked.
• 8

  When done cooking chicken, slowly add broth to the pan CAREFULLY! The pan will steam up, so keep back to avoid burns.
• 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.
• 10

  Bring broth to a simmer and let go for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
• 11

  Stir in salsa to create your sauce. This usually comes out brownish because of the caramelized bits :)
• 12

  Lay the chicken breasts back in the pan with the sauce & let simmer for a minute.
• 13

  Turn the chicken and let simmer another 2 minutes.
• 14

  Remove chicken from pan and serve with 2-3 tablespoons of sauce on top.
• 15

  This is yummy with steamed broccoli with a squeeze of lemon juice or over rice.
