This is very possibly the best chicken dish I've ever had. The flavors are fabulous together. I made this recipe twice last week and have been trying to come up with words to describe just how tasty it is. The flavor of lime is so prominent this dish could be called lime-lime-lime-cilantro chicken. After the taste of lime, you taste cilantro and some heat from the jalapenos. The soy sauce and sugar make a slightly sweet sauce for a great finish for the chicken. Do your taste buds a favor and cook this up in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 small white onions
1 large lime
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded & sliced, or you can use pickled from a jar
1 piece fresh ginger about 1" long, peeled & thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
Cut each chicken breast half into 8 pieces. Cut each onion into 8 wedges. Zest and juice the lime and measure 2 tablespoons of juice. Set aside. Heat wok or large skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute or until hot. Drizzle oil into wok/skillet and heat 30 seconds. Add chicken, jalapeno and ginger; stir-fry about 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and stir-fry 5 minutes. Add lime zest, juice, and chopped cilantro and stir-fry 1 minute. Add soy sauce and sugar and stir-fry until well mixed and heated through.
