- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash white pepper, preferably
directions
- Have someone make grilled chicken by rinsing and drying the chicken breasts and covering both sides with seasoning salt. Place on hot grill and turn until done. Keep warm (if sauce isn't done) by covering with aluminum foil while holding on a plate off the heat to avoid drying out the chicken.
- While chicken is cooking, in small saucepan add the oil and when it is hot, add the shallot and thyme and cook until shallot is slightly browned.
- Deglaze pan with lime juice and wine. In other words, pour in lime juice and wine and use your stirrer to remove stuck shallot and thyme from bottom of pan and try to dissolve into the liquid you just added.
- Reduce volume by one half.
- Add cream and reduce again by three quarters. This reducing concentrates the flavors.
- Remove from heat and slowly wisk in the butter a little at a time.
- Add salt and white pepper to taste.
- You can check the flavor and add a little sugar if you like, or more fruit juice.

I am reformed. I used to take pride in making great reservations. Now I take pride in great recipes. I'm part of the generation that missed the required "home-ec" course. I'm part of the generation where "getting to a man's heart through his stomach" was a sign of female weakness for a career woman like me. Now, however, I'm finding that I don't lose career points by being able to whip up an exceptional dinner. I don't have to, rather, I want to.
