Moroccan Chicken With Dried Fruit and Olive Topping image

From Cooking Light. Great sweet and salty mix! To cut down on the sodium, I reduced the amount of salt and replaced half of the chicken broth with water. I used about 1/2 green olives and 1/2 kalamata. Plus the dried fruit adds fiber to this meal!

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
3/4 cup dried mixed fruit
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme evenly over chicken.
  • Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; cover and keep warm.
  • Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in pan.
  • Add onion to pan; saute 2 minutes until tender.
  • Add garlic to pan; saute 30 seconds.
  • Add remaining ingredients to pan (fruit, wine, broth, olives, salt, and pepper); cook 5 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.
  • When there was still some liquid left in the pan, I threw the chicken back in to warm through and soak some of the flavor.
