On plan recipe. Adjust the brown sugar or omit as it fits best your plan. I’ve made this for nearly 20 years and it’s always a hit. Tonight will be the first time adjusting amounts with the brown sugar. I’m trying with splenda brown sugar blend. Hopefully still as delicious. Will edit with updated nutrition info. The nutrition information is for 4 ounces of chicken as recipe is written.
Chicken Picante
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4oz each)
2 C chunky salsa or picante sauce
3 T brown sugar
1T brown mustard, prepared
Serve with brown rice if desired. (Not included in nutrition info)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in a shallow 2qt baking dish. I use one with a lid. In a bowl combine all other ingredients and stir well. Pour over chicken.
Bake for 30-35 min or until thermometer reads 170 degrees.

I’m sure there are other ways to lower the total carbs or net carbs (7 net carbs with Splenda). I’m open to any and all suggestions.
I hope everyone has a great day!!
