Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 breasts)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs Dash seasoning (Fiesta Lime seasoning)
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 lime (zest of)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract (imitation rum flavoring, or 2 tablespoons light rum)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place chicken breasts in a zippered plastic bag and pound out to equal thickness throughout. Put oil in a large skillet and preheat on medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and fiesta lime seasoning on both sides. Place in preheated skillet and brown on each side.
-
Step 2: While chicken is browning, put the corn syrup, lime zest, lime juice and rum flavoring (or rum) in a small bowl and whisk with a wire whisk till well mixed.
-
Step 3: Pour over browned chicken, cover and reduce heat to low. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil away. Cook 30 minutes. Remove lid about 5 minutes before done and increase heat to reduce down the sauce to thicken a little. Don't let it reduce down too much, or it will get hard like candy.

Step 4: Plate chicken and pour sauce over it.
