Prep time: 10 minutes plus marinating and standing
Cook time: 45 minutes
Makes 4 servings

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsps. freshly grated lime peel
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsps. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme
4 (5 to 6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 lime thinly sliced

1. Combine lime juice, lime peel, garlic, oregano, thyme and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Place the chicken in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and turn the chicken occasionally.

2. Preheat the grill to medium (300 to 350 degrees F). Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill.

3. Grill the chicken over direct heat until grill marks appear (about 10 to 12 minutes per side). Use a thermometer to check temperature. It should read 165 degrees in the thickest portion of the chicken. Remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the lime slices.

Granité

Granité (not to be confused with granite) is a granular ice frozen without being stirred. It can be served at the mush stage or frozen hard, then scraped up in fine, feathery shavings. It’s particularly good topped with a little fruit liqueur or rum. It sounds like something that might be served on one of those Caribbean cruises or in a fancy restaurant.

1 quart of water
2 cups of sugar
1 cup or lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon or lime rind
A few drops of yellow and/or green food coloring.

Bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Cool, mix in juice and rind, and tint pale yellow or green. Pour into 3 refrigerator trays, cover, and freeze to a mush without stirring. Spoon into goblets and serve or freeze hard, scrape up with a spoon and pile into goblets. About 130 calories per 1/2 cup serving.

Fruit Granité: Boil 3 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar into syrup as directed. Cool, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 cups puréed fruit (any berries, peaches, pineapple, sweet cherries). Omit the rind. Freeze and serve as directed. About 140-150 calories per 1/2 cup serving depending upon fruit used.
