Chicken Breasts with Grapes
Posted by Solitary Dancer on January 8, 2009
If you are able to have a grape or two without significant blood sugar rise, you might want to give this a try.
I saw this and thought it really sounded pretty good. What do you think? Have you made anything like this?
Chicken Breasts With Grapes
by Ice Cool Kitty
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 lbs chicken cutlets (I think chicken tenders would work)
1/2 cup grapes
3 tablespoons butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
Trim chicken cutlets of all fat. Pound chicken on a flat surface slightly with a mallet. Cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide. There should be about 3 1/2 cups.
Remove any stems from the grapes, rinse and drain well. Set aside.
Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet then add chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring, so chicken cooks evenly about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet with a slotted spoon.
Add shallots; cook briefly. Add wine and any juices that collect around chicken. When the wine has reduced by half, add cream.
Add grapes and continue cooking 4 to 5 minutes. The mixture should now have a sauce-like consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Return chicken to skillet and heat through.
