"I am looking to thin my collection of cookbooks over the next several months. To do so, I’m submitting all of the recipes I tabbed to try one day here for safe keeping. This particular dish comes from an indoor grilling cookbook and would also be suitable for outdoor cooking. It is a true departure from my usual preference for bolder spices, but is truly flavorful treatment of the bland chicken breast."

ingredients

Raisin Wine Sauce
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil
1 large white onion, chopped
¹⁄₂ lb mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
³⁄₄ cup dry white wine
³⁄₄ cup fat free chicken broth
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons lemon juice
2 bay leaves
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon thyme
¹⁄₂ cup raisins
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash salt (to taste)
Chicken
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
¹⁄₂ teaspoon thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

directions

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.

REALLY good and easy recipe to make. I chopped up the leftover grilled chicken, mixed into the leftover sauce, and ate over rice the next few days as my lunch - nice treat! I substituted 1/2 t soy sauce for worchestershire sauce to avoid fish allergy potential and it worked well.

We really enjoyed this dish! It's very easy to prepare and has quite a unique flavor. The sauce has a strong wine flavor, so if you aren't a wine person, you might want to take out a little of the wine. Still, the sauce is tangy and sweet - very good! My young boys didn't like the sauce, but loved the chicken plain. I've frozen a portion and will edit this response as to how well the dish freezes. I used slice baby portobella mushrooms, which looked beautiful and gave the sauce a hearty feel.

This was great! I actually made this ahead and froze it (chicken & sauce together) which worked out just great! I think freezing it helped the flavors mingle & the chicken was really very tender. Thanks for the post.

I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. Some of my favorite public cookbooks include: <li>ladypit's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/33588> WW Core Recipes I Have Tried </a> </li>   <li>shirl(j)831's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/34888> Can this really be lowfat??? </a> </li>   <li>julesong's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/30566> Cooking Light Recipes </a> </li>   <li>mariposa13's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/44690> WW & Lowfat Recipes </a> </li> <img src=http://members.aol.com/sdnt4life/dpg.gif alt=Dirty /> <a href=http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/?action=view&current=kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif alt=FFF#2 width=50% /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Adopted /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=PAC /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZaarWorldTourFirst.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif alt=/ /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt=ZWT3 /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt=width=50% /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg alt=/ />
