Citrus Chicken

INGREDIENTS
1    tablespoon olive oil
2    chicken half-breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
2    limes, grated lime rind from both
½   cup lime juice
1    cup orange juice
1    tablespoons honey
1    tablespoon butter
1-2   tablespoons all-purpose flour

METHOD
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and swirl to cover. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring, to brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.. Add the lime rind, lime juice, orange juice, honey and butter. Stir to combine and melt the butter. Lower heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken to a plate and slowly add 1 tablespoon of flour, whisking it in. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and, if the sauce is not thick enough, add the second tablespoon of flour the same way. Again, cook for a few minutes to thicken and serve the chicken over polenta, rice or noodles and drizzle the sauce over the chicken.
