INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken breast halves, skin on, bone in
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 2 fresh limes or 1 lemon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely diced bacon
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper strips
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups diced canned tomatoes and their juices
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

DIRECTIONS:
TO GRILL THE CHICKEN: Season the chicken with salt and
pepper and marinate in lime or lemon juice for 10 minutes.
While this is marinating, heat the grill. Grill for 10
minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Keep
the skin on as you grill the chicken to keep it moist.
You can take the skin off after cooking. While the chicken
is cooking, make the sauce.

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a 2-quart saucepan, over medium heat,
heat the oil and bacon. When the bacon is brown, add the
onion, green pepper and celery and cook, covered, over low
heat for 10 minutes or until tender. Add the tomatoes and
their juices, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme
and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper to taste.

Yield: 4 Servings
