INSTRUCTIONS
[1] SAUTE CHICKEN: Season boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1-1/2 tsp. olive or canola oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate (not paper) and tent with foil. [2] FLAVOR: Reduce heat to medium and add second measure of oil to skillet. Add the aromatics in order listed. Cook stirring for about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. [3] MAKE SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk broth, juice, mint and flour. Add to the skillet. Whisking, return pan to the heat and cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. [4] ASSEMBLE & SERVE: Return chicken and juices to skillet; reduce heat to low. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a warmed platter. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken. Garnish with fresh mint: sprigs or chopped. >FYI: When sauteing skinless boneless chicken breast halves, the first goal is to get a nicely caramelized, slightly crusted exterior, while keeping the inside moist and tender. The second goal is to get a fast, delicious pan sauce that capitalizes on the rich flavor left in the skillet after the Chicken is cooked. Therefore Eating Well's Kitchen staff recommend using a cast iron skillet. March 1998 has ten sauces to try. >from Pat Hanneman (Kitpath) MC-PER SERVING: 170 CAL, 5.1g fat (27.2% cff).
