RECIPE INGREDIENTS
| 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 2 tablespoons salt |
| 4 cloves garlic, crushed |
| 2 teaspoons dried oregano |
| 2 tablespoons olive oil |
| 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves |
| 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
| 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
| 2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
|
|
|
DIRECTIONS
In a mortar or sturdy bowl, use a pestle or heavy spoon to mash together the pepper, salt, garlic, oregano, olive oil, mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Work the mixture until it forms a paste.
|
Rub one quarter of the spice paste over the outside of each chicken breast, covering evenly.
|
Place a large sauté pan that will hold all the chicken over medium-high heat, and heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts, coated side down, into the pan. Cook the breasts for 5 minutes
|
Turn the chicken breasts, coated sides up, and sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of lime juice. Sauté for 5 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot or cold.
