I came up with this recipe about three years ago when I saw something similar in my Cooking Light magazine. I’ve only made it, and it was for an old friend – we ate it on top of a salad (romaine lettuce, corn, tomatoes). Even though this dish is very sweet, I think the chicken would taste good over rice, or inside of a tortilla with a little bit of lettuce and Mexican cheese. I also wonder how it would taste if one added a bit of chipotle seasoning or hot sauce…
Ingredients
Method
- Combine first four ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch. Add slowly to saucepan. Turn heat to medium and whisk until mixture is thick.
- Whisk in butter and lime juice. Cook for 3 minutes. Add shredded chicken and seasoning
- Cook for 5 minutes. Serve over rice or as the innards of a burrito.
I’d love to hear your comments if anyone decides to make this – or what kinds of variations you may have for my recipe!
