From Elizabeth
1997

Ingredients

Ingredients for the Lime Chicken Breast

4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts - each 1/2 pound

1/3 cup olive oil

juice of three limes

4 cloves of garlic - peeled and minced

3 tbsp fresh cilantro - chopped

1/2 teaspoon each of salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 yellow/ 6 red/ 6 orange peppers

Ingredients for the Stir-fry Broccoli with Sesame & Walnuts

4 cups of fresh broccoli

1/4 cup of chopped walnuts

1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil & 1/2 tbsp chili oil

1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

garlic powder

1. Mix all ingredients for the lime marinade together in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, the juice of three limes, 4 cloves of garlic - minced, 3 tbsp fresh cilantro - chopped, and 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of freshly ground black pepper.

2. Lay 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1/2 pound each) between 2 sheets of wax paper. Using a wooden mallet, pound each chicken breast gently to tenderize meat. (*Be sure to wash hands after handling raw chicken!)

3. Place chicken breasts in lime marinade for a minimum of 2 hours - keep covered and chilled. If you need to prepare dish in advance, you can marinate breasts overnight.

4. Cook chicken breast on grill pan, or in broiler, for about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked just through.

5. In a wok over high heat, add 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil and 1/2 tbsp chili oil and a dash of garlic powder. When oil is hot, lower heat to medium and toss in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and 4 cups of chopped fresh broccoli. Stir occasionally, cooking for 4 more minutes. Add 1 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce and cover and cook for 1 more minute.

6. Serve lime marinated chicken breasts and broccoli with broiled red and yellow peppers.
