Lime Chicken

If your chicken pieces are very large, cut them into serving pieces; 1 and
one-fourth pounds of meat is plenty for four people.

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 and one-fourth pounds
2 cloves garlic, minced, about 2 teaspoons
3 tablespoons honey
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
one-half teaspoon salt
one-fourth teaspoon ground ginger
one-eighth teaspoon (or a pinch) cayenne pepper

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is quite
hot, add the chicken and cook about three minutes on one side, or until it
is nicely browned. Turn chicken over and add garlic to the pan. Lower
heat to medium low. Combine honey, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, ginger,
cayenne and 2 tablespoons water, stir, then scrape into pan with chicken.
Simmer five minutes or until chicken is cooked through (overcooking
chicken makes it dryer). Remove chicken to plates and allow sauce to cook
a little more to thicken it slightly, stirring with a spoon to loosen all
bits of chicken and brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Spoon sauce
over chicken. Serves four. Serve with lima beans and white or brown rice.


Season's Greetings!
