This tarty chicken recipe has a very unique taste and is the only way I can get rid of those half empty bottles of beer my husband "forgets about" in the refrigerator.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 lime
beer (the icky flat stuff works best)
salt and pepper
1-2 tablespoon oil

Directions

1
In skillet, brown chicken in oil.
2
When cooked inside, add the juice of lime and cover with enough beer to just go over tops of chick.
3
Cover and let cook until juices condense.
4
Do not freak out, sometimes it takes awhile for this to happen.
5
I have often thought it was going to be a watery mess for ever but when it happens-pow!
6
In a matter of minutes you will have a lovely tart brown glaze on the chicken.
7
Season with salt and pepper.
8
Goes very nicely with rice.

I had a bunch of old beer to use up and not much else in the house. I was a bit worried about how this would come out while it was cooking because this was pretty watery for a long time. It took quite a while to eventually get a glaze, but even then it was pretty thin. My boyfriend really enjoyed the end result. The beer and lime flavors were well taken up by the chicken. That being said, I think you would have to really, really like the taste of beer, like my boyfriend does, in order to be able to enjoy this dish. Thanks for posting.
