Ingredients:


4 medium chicken breasts -- boned and skinned

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 sprig rosemary and thyme

1 medium lime -- juice and grated peel

3 ounces pine nuts -- lightly toasted*

1 tablespoon capers

2 cloves garlic -- finely chopped

4 ounces white wine
 

Preparation / Directions:


Cut each chicken breast into thick strips. Heat the olive oil in a seasoned pan. Fry the chicken pieces with the rosemary and thyme until the chicken is golden. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce thicken while the chicken continues to cook (about 5 minutes). Discard the herbs. Serve the chicken on warmed plates and moisten with sauce. * To toast pine nuts, preheat the oven to 450ยก. Place the nuts in a shallow tin and roast, stirring often for 2 minutes. Do not overcook, for pine nuts burn easily. Chris in Phoenix
