Chicken with Scallion-Lime Sauce and Sweet Carrot Rice
This dish had 3 components: chicken, rice, and sauce. The chicken was seasoned with thyme and lime zest. It already tasted great eaten by itself. But the scallion-lime sauce was AMAZING! I absolutely love this sauce!! The lime sauce made me want to eat more and more. I don't normally like carrot, but adding grated carrot to the rice disguised the carrot flavor that I don't like, and actually added some sweetness to the rice. The 3 components can definitely be made separately for other dishes. I would make the chicken again, and added it to a salad. The scallion-lime sauce would be great with fish as well. Maybe even good with grilled steak. The sweet carrot rice can be a side for any dish. If you don't want to make the entire dish, I strongly recommend trying the scallion-lime sauce. It is super delicious!
Dr. P told me he loves eating at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com, a lot more than going out to eat now. It's more relaxing, cheaper, and the food tasted better than restaurant food. Awwww.... so sweet of him to say that. For tonight's dinner, he said he would pay $21. haha.... He would pay a little more because I folded the napkin tonight and it looked fancy. I learned the folding technique from HERE.
Now I am thinking about the scallion-lime sauce, and my mouth starts watering. Can't wait to make this dish again! You can find the recipe HERE.

wow, restaurant grade dinner!!!!!!! haha, I agree I'd rate the restaurant slightly higher if service (including beautifully folded napkin) is great! :D
ReplyDeletehahahaha Folding napkin is actually kinda fun.
It's like origami, but with cloth. I'm going to learn how to fold more styles! ^^
I would pay $21 and leave at least a 16.5% tip for the food and services from that evening.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Only 16.5% tip?
Thanks for the post! I found chicken and a lime in the fridge and decided to try this scallion-lime sauce chicken recipe last night. And guess what? My husband loves it and said it reminded him of the Chinese steamed ginger green onion chicken! The lime juice compliments it so well. (I added a little bit of cream into the sauce to make it slightly thicker.)
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we said! It sort of tasted like the Chinese version, doesn't it?
Love the lime flavor in the sauce. I just mixed the green onion sauce with rice and eat the rice like that. hah....
I'm so glad you and your hubby like it.
