Lime Pepper Chicken with Chipotle Chocolate Cream Sauce

Caught this recipe, and thought it sounded like a keeper. Here's my slightly modified version to serve 2 grown-ups and 2 kiddies.

*6 chicken breasts tenders

*1/2 TBSP. butter

*1 oz. green chiles, drained (from the small can)

*2 lime, juiced

*1/2 c. heavy cream

*pinch of salt

*1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

*1 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning

*1/2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped

*1 TBSP. olive oil

*Fresh cracked pepper

Drizzle lime juice evenly over both sides of chicken. Season chicken with the lemon pepper and salt. Add oil to a hot sauté pan. Sauté chicken breasts over medium-high heat until cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Mince green chiles to a very small dice. In another sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chiles and sauté until chiles are warmed through. Pour cream into the chiles and bring to a simmer. Reduce cream by half its volume over medium-high heat. Pour balsamic vinegar into cream sauce and stir to combine. Sprinkle chocolate into sauce and stir to combine, until chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken on a plate and spoon sauce over chicken.
