Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa
  • 1/4 cup Dijon-style prepared mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons plain yogurt

Directions

  1. In a shallow nonporous dish or bowl combine the salsa, mustard and lime juice. Mix well. Add chicken, cover dish and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
