How to Make Chicken Breast Hot Spicy

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, and salt.
Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade), and add to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Pour reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through and creamy. Do not boil.
Remove chicken from skillet and place on a serving plate. Spoon the creamy sauce generously over the chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
