If you are one of the busy working mothers or just cooks out there, I know how easy it is to slip into the habit of swinging through a fast food drive-thru window on the way home. But that is not the best thing for your family, especially not on a regular basis. It really is possible to prepare quick, healthy meals at home in a matter of minutes and with minimum cleanup. So break the fast food habit, get your family involved helping you in the kitchen and start preparing more meals at home. This Quick and Easy Chicken Veronique recipe is a good place to start.
QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN VERONIQUE
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
4 tsp butter
2/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
2 tbsp orange marmalade
3/4 tsp dried tarragon
2 tsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1 1/2 cups green grapes, halved
Sprinkle the salt and nutmeg over the chicken breast halves. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Melt butter in skillet and add the chicken pieces. Cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes per side until lightly browned. In a small bowl, combine the wine or chicken broth, marmalade and tarragon. Add the mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 7 to 11 minutes until the chicken juices run clear. Remove the chicken and keep it warm. Combine the flour and half-and-half until smooth. Slowly stir the cream mixture into the skillet. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the grapes and heat through. Serve sauce over the chicken.
Note: This recipe is great for diabetics as 1 breast half with 1/3 cup sauce = 226 calories, 13 g carbs and 24 g protein.
