SUPREMES DE VOLAILLE ROUGE ET VERT

Chicken breasts in tomato-lime sauce

This recipe was originally posted to net.cooks in May of '82 by Martin Minow @ decvax. The French name means "boneless chicken breasts in red and green sauce." I like it a lot.

Ingredients

(Serves 2)

1 whole chicken breast

Marinade

juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup white wine
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger
pinch tarragon

Sauce

juice of 1 lime
3 oz white wine
salted butter
3 oz tomato paste

Procedure

Mix the marinade ingredients. Bone the chicken breast, obtaining 2 supremes, and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Reserve bones.
Cook a boullion using the bones. You will need about 3 oz
Drain, flatten, and flour the supremes. Sautae 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.

Notes

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.

Rating

Difficulty: moderate (judgment required).
Time: 30 minutes marinating, 10 minutes cooking.
Precision: no need to measure.
