Chili-Spiced Chicken Breasts

By: Stacey Nutt

"Spicing up dinnertime at her house in Lockney, Texas is a snap for Stacy Nutt when she bakes this zippy chicken dish. The mix of chili powder, jalapeno and cayenne pepper perks up the poultry perfectly. 'I serve it over couscous--tiny pasta grains. But you could also use rice, other pasta or potatoes,' she notes."

Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped*
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Combine the first five ingredients; rub over chicken. In a nonstick skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides. Add onions, jalapeno and garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil.
