Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.54 view details
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme, finely crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups peach preserves
  • 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces - about 3/4 inch
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. To make the spice mix, combine the peppers, thyme, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl and stir to mix well. Reserve.
  2. Put the chicken pieces in a bowl and sprinkle with the spice mix. Mix lightly and let stand for about 30 minutes.
  3. To make the peach mustard, combine the preserves and mustard in a small saucepan over low heat; stir to mix and heat gently until the preserves melt and are thoroughly blended with the mustard. Keep warm or rewarm briefly when chicken is done.
  4. Heat the butter and oil in a saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken pieces and saute until just done, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper toweling.
  5. Serve hot with the peach mustard dipping sauce.
