Great chicken. I love jalapeno jelly so knew that I would like this. I got a little carried away with the celery and probably added too much.......but that was good too. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, Teresa.

Made as written for the FYC Tag Game - When I lived in Tulsa & Dallas B4 moving to Iceland, using hot pepper jelly (or jalepeno jelly) in recipes was a pleasure taken for granted. So it was a culture shock to find I couldn't buy it here. It was always on my shopping list when we visited the US, but that hasn't been an option for nearly 5 yrs. Now a friend from the US visits here often & keeps me supplied. Choosing to make your recipe was a no-brainer for me & the result was an excellent easy-fix. The chicken was moist & flavorful & the glaze-like sauce was divine. We both loved it! Thx for sharing this recipe, Teresa. :-)

Another quick and easy recipe that tastes as good as it looks. Loved the combination of the pepper jelly, Dijon mustard and lemon juice, so much so that as well as chicken breasts have plans to do chicken drummettes in the oven using this combination - I am sure it would work equally well. Thank you for another great Teresa recipe!
