limehouse chicken

You seriously can't go wrong with some well-made chicken. It's not the craziest dish in the world, but done right, it can be incredibly tasty. I tried a new one a few nights ago with ingredients I'd never used with chicken - mint, lime, brown sugar. It turned out great, a definite addition to my permanent rotation. Here's what you'll need:

  • Chicken breast
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • A few shakes of red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 sprig fresh mint, chopped
