BAKED CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA 
6 boneless chicken breasts, cut in halves
1/2 c. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 papaya, peeled & seeded
3/4 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
7 tbsp. butter
Raspberries
3/4 c. honey
1 tbsp. oil (sesame or walnut optional)
Fresh rosemary (optional)
Fresh parsley (optional)

Combine honey, lime juice, 6 tablespoons butter and nutmeg in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring occasionally to blend.

Dice 3/4 of papaya and slice remaining into thin wedges. Heat remaining tablespoon butter and oil in skillet. Sear chicken breasts, skin side down, until golden brown.
