SUMMER LIME CHICKEN BREAST
STIR-FRY BROCCOLI
 
Ingredients for the lime chicken breast:

4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts (1/2 pound each)
1/3 c. olive oil
juice of three limes
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
3 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp. each of salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 yellow peppers
6 red peppers
6 orange peppers

Ingredients for the stir-fry:

4 c. fresh broccoli
1/4 c. chopped walnuts
1 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. chili oil
1 tsp. soy sauce
garlic powder

Mix all ingredients for the lime marinade together in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, the juice of three limes, garlic, fresh cilantro, and salt and pepper.

Lay boneless chicken breasts between 2 sheet wax paper. Using a wooden mallet, pound each chicken breast gently to tenderize meat. Place chicken breasts in lime marinade for a minimum of two hours - keep covered and chilled. (If you need to prepare dish in advance, you can marinate breasts overnight.) Cook chicken breast on grill pan, or in broiler for about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked just through.

In a wok over high heat, add sesame oil and chili oil and a dash of garlic powder. When oil is hot, lower heat to medium and toss in chopped walnuts and chopped fresh broccoli. Stir occasionally, cooking for four more minutes. Add low sodium soy sauce and cover and cook for one more minute.

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