Chicken in Lime with Cumin Potatoes and Black Beans

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard
1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons of broth
4 russet potatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
Pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of waxed paper until they are ½ thick.
Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.
Heat the oil in a skillet.
Cook the breasts in the oil until well done and browned.
Remove from heat and keep warm in the oven.
Slice the potatoes in thin slices.
Toss in a bowl with 2 teaspoons olive oil, just to coat.
Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with the cumin, paprika, and salt and pepper.
Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
Rinse and drain the black beans.
Mix the beans with ¼ cup of chunky tomato salsa or mango salsa. Place in a serving dish.
Stir the broth into the skillet and add the honey, mustard, and lime juice.
Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of broth.
Stir the cornstarch mixture in to the mustard mixture and cook until it thickens, about 1 minute.
Place the chicken breasts back into the pan, and turn to coat them with the mustard lime sauce.
Serve with the potatoes and black beans.
