For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the picante sauce. Serve the Picante Chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness. Feel free to customize the heat level by using a mild, medium, or hot picante sauce. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave.
