Raspberry Lime Chicken

Can you tell that we like chicken and green beans (made this with Green Bean Salad) .....ha ha ....love finding new ways to prepare them - and this was awesome.  We made rice too and it was a very complete meal.  The chicken was super good though - I keep saying "it's my favorite", so I won't say that but top 10 chickens...hehe  ENJOY!

 

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon raspberry wine vinegar (surprisingly I've used this a lot in different meals - so don't think it's a waste buying a whole bottle - I promise you'll use it again)
juice of 2 limes

Rinse and pat chicken dry.  Melt butter in a heavy skillet over low heat.  Add the chicken, cover tightly.  Cook 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once.  Do not brown.  Remove chicken.

Add the garlic to the skillet, saute 1 minute without browning.  Add the brown sugar, cook until it bubbles, then add the soy sauce, vinegar, and lime juice.

Remove skillet from the heat.  Add the chicken pieces.  Let stand 30 minutes to marinate, turning once.  Return chicken to heat and heat through.

**to make ahead: prepare the recipe and rather than marinating 30 min, cover and refrigerate overnight - then continue as above.
