Recipe Introduction


By Marian Blazes

The flavors of ginger and passionfruit make a sweet-savory sauce for tender chicken breasts in this unusual and tasty recipe. The chicken is poached a broth of ginger and passionfruit juice, making it juicy and full of flavor. Then the cooking liquid is reduced with brown sugar, apple cider, and more passionfruit juice, for a tangy sauce to pour over the cooked chicken.




List of Ingredients




4 chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons cf margarine or slightly less olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 - 2 cups gf chicken broth
1 1/2 cups passionfruit pulp, divided
2/3 cups brown sugar, separated
2 tablespoons apple cider
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon gf soy sauce (beef broth)
2 tablespoons starch (tapioca, corn or arrowroot)



Recipe



Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

In a large sauté pan, melt the margarine. Add the shallot and ginger, and cook on medium heat for a few minutes, until softened.

Add the chicken broth, 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Add chicken breasts in a single layer. Add more chicken broth if necessary to ensure that the chicken breasts are covered with liquid.

Bring cooking liquid to a low simmer, and cook chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until just cooked through.

Remove chicken breasts to an oven proof pan, and keep them warm in a 200 degree oven while preparing the sauce.

Pour off all but 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the sauté pan. Add 1 cup passionfruit juice, apple cider, vinegar, soy sauce, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Whisk in the starch and bring to a boil.

Bring sauce to a boil and cook until it has thickened, about 5 minutes.

Pour sauce over chicken breasts and serve.
