Chicken with lime sauce

Ingredients
6-8(6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons lime juice, divided
4 teaspoons spicy mustard
4 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons 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.


Yield
8 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 2 tablespoons sauce)
