Chicken with Lime, Honey and Garlic



Here's a newly found favorite. I first saw this recipe on Swedish tv ("Landg�ng") and immediately dismissed it as being too simple, boring, and hey - of course it's good if you add cream. Pah! No challenge. Hrm, well, let's just say I changed my mind. I wanted something fast and easy to cook, and I was in the mood for something creamy. I happened to have all the ingredients, so... and oh my goodness, it was great. This is something I can't wait to make again.

Chicken with Lime, Honey and Garlic
serves 2

2 chicken breasts, cut up into strips or large pieces
2 limes
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves of garlic
200 ml cream (any variety you want - I used one with 20% fat, but I'm sure lighter ones would have been fine.)
salt, pepper, dried chili flakes

Grate the limes, and juice them. Mince the garlic. Combine lime peel, lime juice and garlic in a small bowl. Fry the chicken in a bit of olive oil or butter, and season with salt and pepper. Add the cream. Add the lime-garlic mixture, and let simmer for 10. Add the honey, and if you want it more spicy, a little bit of dried chili flakes. Serve with rice and some kind of vegetables.
