Recipe for "chicken-macad"

NAME

     CHICKEN-MACAD - Quick and easy chicken with  macadamia  nuts
     and honey
     I devised this recipe  last year. We like it a lot, and it's
     very quick.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

     1         garlic clove, pressed
     4         chicken breasts, boned
     1 ml      dill
     1/2          sweet red pepper
     100 g     green beans (optional)
     1         large tomato
     50 g      macademia nuts
     50 ml     honey
     0.5 ml    sesame seeds
               sesame oil

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Slice or chop all ingredients.  Saute  the  garlic
               in  the  sesame oil, until just fragrant.  Add the
               dill and the chicken, and saut e  for  about  five
               minutes.
          (2)  Add the green beans and the red pepper; saute  for
               another couple of minutes.
          (3)  Add the tomato and  the  macademia  nuts;  saut  e
               another minute or two.
          (4)  Add the honey  and  the  sesame  seeds.   Continue
               cooking just long enough to warm the honey.

NOTES

     This is wonderful served with couscous.  I  recommend  using
     chicken broth when cooking the couscous.
     If you want to take the time, you can thicken the sauce with
     1 ml arrowroot, or some cornstarch.

RATING

     Difficulty:  easy.  Time: 20 minutes.  Precision: no need to
     measure.
