Guava Chicken
1⁄3 cup guava jelly, Knott’s®
2 tablespoon bottled lime juice, ReaLime®
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon bottled crushed garlic, Christopher Ranch®
1 1⁄2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt and ground black pepper
1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, Bertolli®
1. Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with aluminum foil; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine guava jelly, lime juice, rosemary sprigs, and garlic over medium-low heat. Heat through. In a small bowl, strain guava mixture.
3. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine chicken and flour. Seal bag; shake to coat chicken. Remove chicken from bag; shake off excess flour.
