Ingredients


Preparation

Between two layers of plastic wrap, pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Place chicken in large, self-sealing plastic bag.

In medium bowl, whisk together lemon zest, orange zest, garlic, chives, salt, pepper, lime juice, lemon juice, honey and balsamic vinegar. Pour into bag, over chicken. Close bag securely and turn to distribute marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or as long as 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken from bag. Shake excess marinade into bag and reserve.

In large, heavy, nonstick skillet over high heat, warm oil. Saute chicken until browned, about 2 - 3 minutes per side. Lower heat to medium and continue cooking until chicken is done, about 2 more minutes per side. Transfer to serving platter and cover to keep warm.

Pour reserved marinade into skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Scrape the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add any liquid that has collected around chicken and let mixture boil for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened and reduced. Stir in cream; cook for another minute. Pour hot sauce over chicken breasts. Garnish with slices of lime, lemon or orange.

There was too much citrus for my liking, it was overpowering. Next time I will tone it down. The marinade does tenderize the chicken nicely.

A good no carb recipe. Starting it the night before gave the chicken plenty of time to absorb the flavors. I replaced the salt and pepper with lemon pepper since I almost never add salt to my cooking. Final preparation was fast and easy.

The key to this recipe was using several types of fresh juice. I used lemon, lime, and orange juices. My guests raved about the dish.
