lime and basil chicken

This was quite nice. A bit summery for a coldish September day, maybe. I served it with saut?ed cabbage and basmati rice.

4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup lime juice
1/3 cup white wine
Couple tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 pint cream
2 tablespoons flour
butter or oil for cooking the chicken

Brown the chicken breasts in the butter or oil - 3 or 4 minutes a side. Put aside. Add wine and lime juice to the pan, scrapping the bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and add the chopped basil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the chicken breast back to the pan. Cook about 20 minutes. Remove to a plate. Stir the flour into the cream and add to the liquid in the pan. Cook slowly until thickened. Pour over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh basil.
