4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Whole boneless skinless chicken breasts; 4 pieces
3 teaspoons Unsalted margarine
2 tablespoons Onion; finely chopped
1 cup Sweet potato; mashed
2 tablespoons Dry white wine; optional
2 teaspoons Honey
½ teaspoon Grated orange peel; orange part only
½ teaspoon Grated lemon rind; yellow part only
⅛ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 dash Ground nutmeg
Fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Bread crumbs

Directions

Pound chicken breast halves to approximately ¼ in. (5 mm) thickness. Melt 1 tsp margarine in a small skillet over moderate heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft but not brown. Stir in sweet potato, optional wine, honey, lemon and orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper and heat through.

Divide mixture between 4 breasts halves, roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place roll-ups seam side down in a shallow baking dish. Cover and bake at 400F (200C) for 20 minutes until chicken is tender.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tsp. margarine in a small saucepan.

Sprinkle the cooked roll-ups with the bread crumbs, drizzle the melted margarine over them, and brown under the broiler. Serves 4.
