JENN'S FAVORITE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a plastic freezer bag, or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, pound each halved chicken breast until about 1/4 inch thickness.
• (It helps to sprinkle the chicken or the plastic wrap with a little water so you don't tear the meat).
• Mix together the flour, pepper, ginger, and salt on a shallow dish.
• Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mix to coat.
• Heat the olive oil in a sautee pan over medium heat.
• Place 1 breast at a time in the pan and cook about 3 minutes per side, or until the meat feels firm.
• Keep chicken in a covered dish to warm until all the chicken is finished cooking.
• Add the broth to the pan slowly.
• The pan will steam up so be careful.
• Deglaze the pan by gently scraping up any browned bits and let the liquid simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced slightly.
• Add your salsa and stir until you have a nice thick sauce.
• It will come out to be a bit brownish in color.
• Take the pre-cooked chicken breasts and place back into the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Turn chicken once after 2 minutes and cook an additional 2 minutes.
• Remove chicken from pan and serve with 2-3 Tblsp of sauce over each breast.
