A new recipe that I wanted to try out and we thought it was delicious and so I am sharing it with you all.

Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://www.food.com/recipe/weight-watchers-chili-lime-chicken-3-points-408980

Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour OR all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon lite salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (try to find thin-sliced or you can just pound them out a little)
1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoons cilantro, minced

Directions:
-In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
-In a large ziplock bag, mix the flour, chili powder, and salt. Add chicken and coat all pieces completely.
-Transfer chicken to the skillet, shaking off any excess flour; pan sear the chicken for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked to the appropriate temperature.
-Pour chicken broth and lime juice over the cooked chicken breasts and heat up for an additional minute or two.
-Transfer chicken to the plates and spoon the pan juices over the chicken. Sprinkle cilantro on top and serve.

Enjoy! :)
