  1. Update: I made this wonderful chicken today, exactly as written, using the celelry. Don't leave it out, it really adds to the flavor of the dish. Wonderful served with mashed potatoes and carrots. <br/><br/>We really enjoyed this tasty meal Teresa. The chicken was wonderful, great flavor, moist and juicy, very tender. The sauce was wonderful. I served it over homemade spagetti noodles, that I coated in the sauce for an extra treat. Made as noted but omitted the celery, as I was out. Thank you for sharing this keeper Teresa.
     
  2. This is one of the best chicken breast recipes that I have made in a very long time. I just canned Jellyqueen's recipe #58516 and used it to make this recipe. I had made a hotter version so there was a lot of delicious heat. The chicken was very tender and so, so flavorful. I made 4 times the sauce than the recipe called for, decreasing the Dijon mustard to half. You can bet I'll be making this alot. Too bad for the recipents of my pepper jelly. It is mine. :) Thanks Teresa for a great recipe. Made for PAC Fall 2011
     
  3. I halved a boneless chicken breast to get an equal thinness, and halved the other ingredients. I absolutely loved the celery sticks in the sauce.....that was the unexpected bonus in the recipe. The celery sticks with the sauce were yummy. This was a really delicious quick and easy chicken dish....I'm saving it to make again! Thanks for sharing. Made for Zaar Stars.
     
  4. I made this using our own Recipe #315991 for the pepper jelly. I didn't have any celery, but did have some portabella mushrooms to use up so after the chicken and mushrooms were done, I removed them from the pan and added the jelly, mustard, and lemon juice. I gave a quick stir and added back the chicken, coated, and placed on white bread. I then added the mushrooms to the jelly/mustard sauce and placed them over top the chicken (although I took the photo without the mushrooms). Buddha said the mushrooms really made this recipe 'pop' and gave it a wow factor. I told him the shrooms were accidental only because they had to be used up before they went bad, and he said you could do the sauce with just mushrooms and serve as a condiment. The only qualm he had was that the white bread did not hold up to the sandwich and would be better on a roll. Anyway, definitely a keeper with added possibilities, and definitely will make again. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Spicy goodness! The changes I made were due to personal preference and from other reviewers suggestions. I'm sure it would have been great as written. Doubled the sauce and celery. After flattening the chicken I cut them in half lengthwise. Sprinkled with Montreal Chicken Seasoning instead of salt and pepper. Cooked 4 minutes on first side, flipped and cooked on the other side 4 minutes, flipped and repeated for a total of about 8 minutes per side. Served with rice and roasted asparagus. Added some sauce and celery sticks over the rice. DH and I both enjoyed this very much. Nice presentation, too!
