This recipe has been a new favorite of ours! Believe it or not, I had all the ingredients on hand to make it the first time (I used lime juice and not fresh limes) Also, instead of chicken breasts cut, I just used thawed tenderloins from Costco!
Lime Chicken
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts- cut in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons honey
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 ground ginger
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is 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, and cayenne and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl, stir, then scrape into the pan with chicken. Simmer for five minutes (or until chicken is cooked through).
Remove chicken to plates and allow sauce to cook a little more to thicken slightly, stirring with a spoon to loosen bits of of chicken and brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Spoon sauce over chicken.
Serve with white or brown rice and a vegetable side (green beans are our favorite!)
