Hubby and I made this last week, and loved it. We did find the recipe needed one addition though. Drizzled honey over the plated dish makes it perfect. I'm not sure how "Keys style" adding the honey is, but it's so needed.
Keys-Style Citrus Chicken, from the Better Homes and Gardens Easy Everyday Cooking
Ingredients:
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb. total)
2 or 3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 T. butter or margarine
1 t. finely shredded lime peel
2 T. lime juice
1/4 t. ground ginger
1/8 t. crushed red pepper
1 orange
Hot Cooked Rice (optional)
LIme Wedges (optional)
Honey (optional)
Directions:
1. Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. In a large skillet cook chicken and garlic in butter or margarine over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning chicken once and stirring garlic occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine lime peel, lime juice, ginger, and red pepper; set aside. Peel orange. Reserving juice, cut orange in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into slices. Add any reserved orange juice and the lime juice mixture to the skillet.
3. Place the orange slices on top of chicken. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through.
4. To serve, spoon any reserved drippings over chicken. If desired, serve with cooked rice and garnish with lime wedges. Makes 4 servings.
Ok, here's my advice. As with any recipe, you must prep everything before you cook. With this recipe, it's especially necessary. Do step 2 first, and you will be much happier when it comes to actually cooking. (8 to 10 minutes for the chicken goes extremely quick!) Especially be sure that you have your orange prepared, as this seems to take the longest of anything. And be free with the honey. You'll love it.
