Cook Time:
15 - 20 minutes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup (180ml) cream
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped orange zest
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 avocado, smoothly mashed
Salt and pepper to taste
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast or 8 pieces chicken thigh fillet
Slices of lime, lemon and orange, to garnish
- Sautee the garlic in 1 tablespoon butter until softened but not
coloured, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and heat gently until
almost boiling. Add the juices and mashed avocado, with salt
pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brush with melted butter
and grill or fry in a nonstick pan until cooked through, 3-4 minutes
on each side.
- Serve the chicken over steamed long grain rice or mashed potatoes.
- Wipe out the pan and heat to very high. Add a little unsalted
butter and quickly cook the citrus slices until lightly caramelized
on the surface.
- While the citrus caramelizes, gently reheat the sauce but do not
allow it to boil or the avocado will become bitter.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken and arrange the fruit slices on top.
