List of Ingredients
Sauce
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup concentrated orange juice
1/3 cup raisons
6 ounce package of dried apricots
4 large mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup orange liqueur
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chicken/Breading
2 boneless, skinless 1/2 chicken breasts, pounded to between 1/2" and 1/4" thick
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
Recipe
Place 1/2 inch of water in a medium pan. Add apricots and raisons and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain apricots and raisons keeping only 2 tablespoons of water. Place the apricots, raisons and the 2 tablespoons of water back into pan over medium heat. Add butter. After butter is melted, add crushed garlic, concentrated orange juice and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add orange liquor and salt. While stirring, slowly add flour and cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Soak pounded chicken breasts in eggs and then coat with Italian bread crumbs. Discard excess eggs and bread crumbs. In a large pan, heat olive oil and cook chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side over medium/high heat until breading is golden brown. Remove chicken and place on paper towels to drain. Place the drained breasts onto separate plates and pour ½ the sauce over each and serve.
