Picante Chicken & Cinnamon Swirl Protein Bread

THANK YOU THANK YOU to Lori and Beth!!!

Picante Chicken

**Good, low fat, pretty tasty.

3 chicken breasts cut in half

1 cup of salsa

3 tablespoons of lime juice from a real lime

1 tablespoon of dijon mustard

olive oil

plain greek yogurt

Mix salsa, lime juice and mustard together.  Add chicken to this mixture and marinate for an hour. 

Remove chicken from marinade and cook in pan with a little olive oil until juices are clear.  Remove chicken from pan and pour the marinade in pan and cook until it boils.  Pour warm marinade over chicken and serve with a spoonful of plain greek yogurt on each chicken piece.

I usually serve this with Uncle Ben's 90 second whole grain rice.
