Sauteed chicken breast with mustard and grapes

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Boneless chicken breasts; pounded to about, 1/2-inch thick, (about 3/4 pound)
Flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Minced shallot
½ cup Seedless red or green grapes, halved
¼ cup Dry white wine
2 teaspoons Brandy
¾ cup Canned chicken broth
2 teaspoons Firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

Directions

Pat the chicken dry and dredge it in the flour, shaking off the excess. In a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the chicken. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate, add the shallot and the grapes to the skillet, and cook them over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the wine and the brandy and simmer the mixture until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Add the broth and the brown sugar, whisking, and boil the mixture until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the chicken and any juices that have accumulated on the plate, simmer the mixture for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is just heated through, and transfer the chicken with tongs to 2 heated plates. Remove the skillet from the heat, whisk in the mustard and salt and pepper to taste, whisking until the sauce is combined well, and pour the sauce over the chicken.

Yield: 2 servings
