Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup picante sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium chicken bouillon granules

Directions

  1. Mix 1 teaspoon cumin, oregano and garlic salt; sprinkle over both sides of chicken. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides.
