Ingredients:
  6   boneless chicken breast halves
  1 Tbls   butter
    Salt & Pepper to taste
  3 Tbls   white wine
  3 Tbls   fresh lime juice
  2 tsp   grated fresh gingerroot
  1/4 tsp   cayenne pepper
  1/3 C   chicken broth
  1/3 C   half and half
Directions:
  Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 in. for quicker cooking.

In a skillet, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper and saute quickly, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pan and keep warm.

Add wine and lime juice to pan; deglaze the pan using a wire whisk and working quickly. Bring it to a boil; now add the chicken broth, half and half, ginger and cayenne. LOWER heat immediately (or sauce will break) and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. When sauce has reduced and thickened, taste it and correct the seasoning, if necessary.

Serve chicken with sauce over the top.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Steamed red potatoes, steamed asparagus and a big green salad.
