Chicken Breast In A Port And Raisin Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
• Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
• Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally so the vegetables soften without browning.
• Stir in flour and continue cooking an additional 2 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until it begins to thicken.
• And add the lemon juice, bay leaves, pepper, thyme, salt and raisins. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
• Mix together the olive oil, garlic, thyme and pepper so that it creates a paste. Cut chicken into ½ inch strips. Toss the chicken strips with the seasoning paste and grill about three minutes or so until cooked.
• Serve chicken strips with sauce spooned on top. Goes well with rice.

Steps:

• Season chicken and dredge it in the flour. Shake off excess.
• Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• In a 12" skillet heat the oil and butter. Increase the heat to medium high before adding the chicken.
• Add the chicken and cook about 4 minutes without moving the chicken. Turn over and cook another 3-4 minutes. Make sure chicken is cooked.
• Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• Take the bowl with sauce ingredients and add them to the pan and boil stirring and scraping all the browned bits in the pan over high heat until the liquid is smooth and glossy.
• Spoon over the chicken and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute onion, garlic, cinnamon and pepper in oil until onion is tender. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until juices run clear. Add orange juice and raisins. Cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
