WW Points 4; prep time 19 min.

4 (4 oz.) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 C. flour
1 Tbsp. margarine
2/3 C. canned no-salt-added chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 C. low-sugar orange marmalade
1 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Orange slices (optional)

Place chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/2-in. thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; dredge in flour. *I used a heavy freezer gallon zip bag. Then when done with the mallet I used the bag to place flour mixture in. Thus no mess!

Melt margarine in a lrg. nonstick skillet over med.-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 8 to 10 min. or until done, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.

Meanwhile, Mix together broth and cornstarch; stir in marmalade. Stir broth mixture into skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened. Stir in vinegar. Reduce heat to med.; add chicken, turning to coat. Cook 1 to 2 additional min. or until thoroughly heated. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.

Makes approximately 4 servings. 4 points each
