30 minSometimes the best suppers are the simplest ones, and this five-ingredient chicken does not mess around.
Picante sauce gets mixed with brown sugar and Dijon mustard to create a sweet, tangy, slightly fiery glaze that caramelizes over boneless chicken breasts in the oven.
The whole thing comes together in about 30 minutes, start to finish.
Spoon it over hot rice and let the sauce do all the talking.
Chef Tips
- Use your favorite picante sauce heat level. Mild keeps it family-friendly; hot gives it real Texas swagger.
- Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness so they cook through at the same rate.
- Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken halfway through baking for a glossy, sticky glaze.
