My husband bought green pepper jelly instead of mint jelly by mistake (because it was green :)) So, my search was on to find a green pepper jelly recipe. I am so happy I came upon this one. It was delicious! I made a couple of modifications only because I didn't have the ingredients. I used boneless chicken breasts and I substituted the lemon pepper seasoning with Mrs. Dash grilling blends (Chicken), I didn't have any apple juice so used apple sauce and added about a 1/4 cup of water. It had just the right amount of heat. My family rated it a 5!

This chicken dish was really different. I could only find Hot red pepper jelly in my local store so my chicken ended up very spicey. I think if I had used less of the jelly, I would have been able to taste some of the other flavors in the dish. The ingredients list had salt listed, but the directions did not mention where to add it. I added the salt to the flour mixture. Thanks for posting your recipe. Made for Fall PAC 2008.
