Caribbean Lime Chicken
- 1 medium size lime
- 2 Tbsp. dark rum or orange juice
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp. ground
- 1 Tbsp. hot red pepper sauce
- 2 whole chicken breasts (about 2 lb.), halved and skinned
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 can (1 lb.) low-sodium tomatoes, with juice
- 2 Tbsp. molasses
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 banana, sliced and dipped in lime or lemon juice
- Using a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, remove the peel from half of the lime and set aside.
- Juice the lime and set aside. Add the lime peel to the lime juice, along with the rum or orange juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper sauce.
- Add the chicken, tossing to coat well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning the chicken in the marinade several times. Lightly coat a heavy 12-inch skillet with the nonstick cooking spray and set over moderate heat for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken, reserving the marinade, and cook about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter.
- Raise the heat under the skillet to high and boil the sauce, uncovered, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, arrange the chicken and sauce in a serving dish and garnish with the banana slices, if you like.
- Serves 4.
