RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Seared Chicken with Apricot Sauce
INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and tenders removed
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ¾ cup dry white wine
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 4 fresh apricots, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon , or 1/2 teaspoon dried
INSTRUCTIONS
Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a rolling pin, meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. (Discard any leftover flour.)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm. (If necessary, cook chicken in two batches with an additional 1 tablespoon oil.)
Off the heat, add wine and shallot to pan. Return to medium heat and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add apricots and cook until fruit begins to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in preserves, tarragon and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Return chicken to the pan and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve chicken with sauce.
