Ingredients

  • 1 each chicken breasts whole
  • 1 each limes juiced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 pinch tarragon leaves
  • 1 each limes juiced
  • 3 ounces white wine
  • 1 x butter salted
  • 3 ounces tomato paste

Method

  • Mix the marinade ingredients.
  • Bone the chicken breast, obtaining 2 supremes, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Reserve bones.
  • Cook a bouillon using the bones.
  • You will need about 3 oz of bouillon.
  • Drain, flatten and flour the supremes.
  • Saute quickly in clarified butter, about two minutes on each side.
  • Remove and keep warm.
  • Raise the heat to high, add wine, lime juice, tomato paste and bouillon.
  • Cook down until it looks like it's been cooked too much.
  • Remove from heat and swirl in a goodly chunk of butter.
  • If you remove the sauce too soon, it will be too soupy.
  • The sauce should be cinnamon-coloured and shiny.
  • There will be very little sauce, you may need a rubber scraper to get it out of the pan.
  • Serve with rice or some other bland vegetable.
  • Experiment with the sauce, varying the ratio of ingredients.
  • I have just strained the chunky bits from the marinade and used that.
  • Wear a raincoat when making the sauce.
  • It splatters.
