Directions:
Guava Lime Sauce
- In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add the guava
puree, white wine and lime juice. Whisk together.
- Simmer until reduced by half, you want to stir
often. Then, add the cream and reduce by half again. Reduce the heat to
low and, whisking constantly, add the butter a little at a time.
- As soon as all the butter is incorporated, remove
from heat and season with the salt and pepper.
- Strain through a fine sieve. Serve warm.
Macadamia Breaded Chicken
- In a shallow dish, place 1/2 cup of the flour.
- In a second shallow dish, blend the remaining 2
cups of flour and the water until smooth.
- In a third shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs and
the macadamias.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Lightly dust with flour, dip the breasts into the batter, and then into
the bread crumb mixture, coating thoroughly. Cover and chill until ready
to cook.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over
medium-high heat. Sauté chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each
side or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Ladle the sauce onto the serving plate and place
the hot chicken breasts on top.
