Chicken Breasts Glazed with Hot Pepper Jelly image

From cooking.com, an easy and tasty chicken dish. I quadruple the sauce from what's stated, as we love our sauces.

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Tbsp hot pepper jelly
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
2 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast halves, pounded lightly to an even thickness
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 medium celery ribs, cut into 2-inch-long matchsticks
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped celery leaves

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine the pepper jelly and mustard; set aside. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt the butter over moderately high heat. When the foam subsides, add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • 2. Tilt the skillet and pour off most of the fat. Add 1 tablespoon of water and shake the pan to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Push the chicken to one side, add the celery matchsticks and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the pepper jelly mixture and the lemon juice to the pan and shake to coat the chicken with the sauce. Cook until the sauce is reduced to a glaze, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the celery matchsticks on top. Garnish with the celery leaves and serve at once.

I was looking for a new chicken recipe to try, and this one caught my eye. I'm so glad I made it! The chicken was delicious and the glaze was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

The glaze was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, though.

I've tried many chicken recipes, but this hot pepper jelly glazed chicken is now my favorite. It's easy to make, and the chicken always comes out moist and tender. The glaze is also delicious, with just the right amount of heat.
