Lime Cilantro Sauteed Chicken Breast image

This was a big hit with my son and other family members. Also works very well on sauteed shrimp and fish and the frozen breaded Clam Strips. I throw frozen Chicken Breast in the frying pan on medium heat for this one. They turn out just as well as if thawed. This is a great pairing.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 chicken breasts frozen or thawed
1/3 c lime fresh squeesed or real lime
1/4 c fresh cilantro sliced medium to fine
2 cloves gralic (optional)
1/4 stick butter for sauteeing and sauce
2 Tbsp olive oil for sauteeing and sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium heat place Chicken Breast un-thawed or thawed in frying pan to which you fave added a pat of butter and a teaspoon of olive oil. When first side has cooked somewhat, flip to other side. Continue flipping every 3 or 4 minutes. Cook 7 to 10 minutes.
  • 2. When breast appears 2/3 to 3/4 done add 1/4 stick butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the Lime Juice and Cilantro, to the pan. (Garlic is Optional)
  • 3. I test that they are cooked through by slicing a little and checking.
  • 4. Plate the Chicken Breasts and spoon on some of the sauce. Serve with rice, potatoes or your choice. Again -- This works very well for Shrimp, Fish, Breaded Clam sticks or other Sea Food. Margarita Anyone?
  • 5. Hint: I sometimes prepare the sauce separately by heating in the microwave. You'll need some salt to bring out the lime juice and cilantro. I add some sauce to pan and reserve some for plating. It's What's for Supper? Really.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook chicken breasts, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I served it with rice and vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken breasts. I made it with some chicken that I had roasted the night before, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was reheated through and the sauce was just as flavorful as when it was first mad

I'm not usually a fan of chicken breasts, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and juicy, and the lime and cilantro sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
