What a tasty way to prepare chicken! The Dijon adds a very nice tanginess to the salsa. I decided to serve this fajita style, so after browning my chicken breasts, I sliced them thinly. While doing that I threw a sliced bell pepper into the pan to saute, then returned the sliced chicken breast and added the remaining ingredients per instructions. Served with warm whole wheat tortillas. Wonderful meal that my partner and I enjoyed. Thank you for sharing!

This is my all time favorite chicken recipe! It is easy to make and takes so, so good. I started making this dish several years ago from the same cookbook. I have never met anyone who did just love this chicken dish! Thanks for posting it!

Ole and that's no bull --fight praise. This is a very tasty recipe that ends up with a wonderful moist chicken breast. I booted it a bit with Denzil's "Big Boy" hot suce but I love extra spice. I used 2% cottage cheese whipped in stead of sour cream and I wasn't sure what you meant by fresh chutney so I skipped that. I served it with new baked potatoes, new carrots & steamed brussels sprouts. I appreciated the suggestion to boil the marinade an extra minute - I am always careful if I use left over chicken marinade unless it is well cooked afterward. Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe Thanks giltkitty
