Spanish Style Chicken (Grilled With Raisin Wine Sauce) image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

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)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

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.
